"A recognition of the evolving 21st Century warfare, the medal will be considered a bit higher in ranking than the Bronze Star, but is lower than the Silver Star, defense officials said."
Perhaps the medal should be in the shape of a chair.

You posted a few seconds faster than me, I will ask to have it pulled. My comment was my son just upgraded his Vector last night to diamond, is he entitled to a medal now too?

My understanding is that medals are for acts of bravery. Recognition of the contributions made by the tech guys is appropriate but aren’t there other ways to do it?

The Legion of Merit (LOM) is a military award of the United States Armed Forces that is given for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services and achievements.
I know, I know, this would make field grade and above officers mad,hmmm on second thought people might think they really did something.

They aren't just saving the princess, they are earning a medal...then they have to clean their room.

“...will be rated Higher than Bronze...”
Give them a Navy/Army/Air Force Achievement Medal. That’s plenty high enough.
It was good enough for spending 11 days in the tunnels on the Batangan Peninsula and capturing 41 VC.
It ought to suffice for sitting in a chair and playing video games or writing code.

"Pentagon is creating a medal that can be awarded to troops who have a direct impact on combat operations, but do it from afar."
Something like an IED?
