LJ,
If you fly an armed RPAS or UAV then you will most likely have to exercise 'courageous restraint'
The guys flying the things have a set of ROE's and a chain of command that gives firing permission. If they get told to fire and the ROEs are met, the weapon is off the rail.
If you exercise 'courageous restraint' and fail to comply with the firing order, when the ROEs are met, then life would become very interesting, very quickly.
5F6B,
The guy or gal in the post room at Kandahar is still subjected to IDF, I agree that firing a Storm Shadow should not warrant a bravery type medal.
As for different types of campaign medals, absolutely!! My South Atlantic Medal has a rosette on it to show I was south of 70S during the war. The boys and girls who were at Ascension Island got the same medal but with no rosette. Is that divisive? Or does it just denote the level of risk that each person was subjected to?
