Hype is stretched taut when video gamers are being awarded medals.

Could this be why Panetta and others are warning that “the next Pearl Harbor could well be a computer-based assault”?

America’s largest combat veterans group, the Veterans of Foreign Wars, got it right when they called the new medal the “Geek Cross” with a suggestion that “the USA was close to handing video-gamers Purple Hearts for animated wounds”.

“Those furthest from the fight/risk are not eligible for a higher award than those engaging the enemy and risking their lives each day,” Defense spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen said.

The Pentagon’s drone medal is about as authentic as Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize.

So far the silence from the ‘cyber troops’ for whom the Drone Medal is being created, is deafening.

Could be their ranks do not need a medal but a chest to pin it on.
