New Medal Designed To Honor Cyber Soldiers

bios10h writes "The Boston Globe writes that the Pentagon is creating a new medal to honor cyber soldiers. '[The] troops who launch the drone strikes and direct the cyber-attacks that can kill or disable an enemy may never set foot in the combat zone. Now their battlefield contributions may be recognized with the first new combat-related medal to be created in decades. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta announced Wednesday that the Pentagon is creating a medal that can be awarded to troops who have a direct impact on combat operations, but do it well away from any combat zone.'"

There should be no medal for this!

Because all the families of the innocents slain fucking hate you, and your country, and all that drone killings represent. I mean seriously, congratulations: you ran some software someone else made, and you followed orders from someone else to drop a bomb on something you didn't personally go to. Thanks a lot?
