It is called the Courageous Restraint Medal and is awarded to soldiers and Marines who demonstrate uncommon restrain in combat by not firing their weapons even when they feel threatened by the enemy.

What what what? I can't imagine a living Marine accepting this medal under any circumstances. What the hell is going on here?
