Amen. Military personnel are expected to engage in “good conduct” at all times, so rewarding them for doing so just seems to be a waste of energy and a pointless display of colored ribbon. I would prefer that the time spent processing such medals and paperwork, and purchasing them, and arranging them on uniforms, instead be spent doing something more tangible that truly helps the military fulfill The Mission. Of course, following this line of reasoning, I’m sure that some folks could come up with some other medals and decorations that could or should be eliminated for much the same reason. But that’s a discussion for another day.
