Does piloting an unmanned drone from thousands of miles away count as valor? What about engaging the enemy on the digital battlefield of Twitter?

To both questions, the Department of Defense responded with a resounding ‘no.’

The DoD has been conducting an extensive review of military decorations to decide whether any eligibility requirements must be changed or if any new medals must be created. Among the provisions on the DoDs agenda was the Distinguished Warfare Medal, aka the ‘Nintendo Medal,’ a badge of honor that would have been awarded to drone pilots and cyber warriors.

The medal was heavily endorsed by the Air Force, which is having trouble retaining drone pilots.

Despite earlier reports that the medal was approved, the DoD instead approved a small ‘R’ pin to signify and celebrate remote military contributions. This pin will be attached to existing non-combat medals.

Meanwhile, the DoD’s review also decided to leave one medal untouched–the Army Combat Action Badge.

This medal was created in 2005 to give recognition to soldiers who saw combat after 2001, but didn’t qualify for the Combat Infantry Badge or Combat Medical Badge. However, the Combat Action Badge is not available to any veterans of previous conflicts, like the Vietnam War or World War II.

Some lawmakers believed that should change. Rep. Richard Nugent has twice submitted a bill that would open CAB eligibility to all veterans, not just those who have served since 2001.

“These guys, particularly from Vietnam, there’s a number of them who weren’t in the infantry, but were involved in combat, so they wouldn’t get the Combat Infantry Badge,” Nugent said. “They want to be recognized.”

The American Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars have also endorsed granting Combat Action Badge eligibility to more veterans.

But it is not to be–the CAB will stay as it is.
