   This is emblematic of the gayness that we’ll ultimately endure for years under the roastocracy: Cheapening of merits that prior generations had to die for, issued by fat spinsters looking for eye-catching headlines. We do this crap, too. Award inflation comes for all.

   Go back 50 years and this guy would have been recognized with a more measured award for his work, not really their equivalent of the sacred Medal of Honor. If I were that guy I’d be offended. Gimme a more suitable honor so I don’t feel like a thief.

   This guy didn’t consciously trade his fighter for a drone though. he ingested debris and was going down anyway. Without room to put her down easy, he opted to turn away from the city and eject. Cool, but not really worth of the highest honor when you consider how much peril previous winners faced in comparison. What got him this award was his immediate selfie being signal boosted around the world.

   it’s just so gay watching militaries succumb to the same marketing standards as corporations

     @Eiregoat I know, but when you had men at every level in the organization you had them rooted in reality. They’d say “hey let’s give him an MoH” and the sane guys in the room would laugh it off and give a more measured, reasonable award because they would have to defend that choice. Now it’s all gays and faggots, who only see the top echelon. It’s hypergamy, but for medals.

     As much as I agree, are you under the impression that's anything new? Military awards have always been propaganda vehicles. They're not fair measures of heroism, they're an opportunity to make your conflict look heroic.
