Examine Military Award abuse and Redirect the Armed Forces to adhere to the criteria in place for each Military Award

Created by R.O. on July 15, 2013

Meritorious and Commendation medals are awarded for academic, artistic, athletic, public relations, end of tour and retirement awards.
In some parts during the Iraq and current Afghanistan War, a quota system is used, based on rank and duty position not for Heroism. For example Co' s are awarded Silver Stars,Bronze Stars to Platoon Leaders or Sergeants and no Valor Medals are being awarded to Corporals or Privates.
Officers continue to award each other Medals for Combat Bravery without having been in combat.
The United States Awards process has recognized Bravery in Combat, Exceptional Leadership and the Meritorious Deeds of our non combat heroes when we adhere to the criteria of each award.
