The award system is all messed up to begin with. Period. People get CIB's for nothing. I got mine issued when I went to Afghanistan. I earned it in Iraq. How can you issue a badge which requirements state "must engage and be engaged with small arms fire" for someone who simply showed up? Bronze Stars are handed out to anyone above the rank of E-6 simply for going on a deployment. With abuses such as these how can anyone justify a Medal of Honor these days without, tragically, the loss of life and someone going far far above and beyond any call of duty within their given MOS?
Just my $0.02. Like I said, the award system as a whole needs to be fixed to begin with.
