I have been told by soldiers coming back that Battalion Commanders and up are refusing to award the deserving...common theme heard; "junior enlisted are not going to receive Silver Stars or Bronze Stars with "V"..."
hey, when my husbands unit returned from the Iraq all the Battalion commanders were awarded Bronze Stars...

The CSS units I'm familiar with are handing out Bronze Stars like candy; the V devices typically have to be earned. Also, there is such a thing as an ARCOM with a V device; we should make more use of it.

Good evening.
"hey, when my husbands unit returned from the Iraq all the Battalion commanders were awarded Bronze Stars..."
Were they valor awards or meritorious service awards?
