A Distinguished Flying Cross for shooting down an Iraqi plane?

I guess they award Silver Stars for showing up to work on time.

During my time in Iraq in 2005-06, the Bronze Star was an attendance pin.

The standing order was, if you were E-7 or above, the Bronze Star was “yours to lose”. An E-6 or below, it was “yours to win, but God better justify it”.

Decorations have been overrated. Hell, even Jessie Lynch got a Bronze Star.
