Sky Sports,

If they still awarded an MID for coming under fire then judging by the straw poll we conducted the other day, pretty much every SH crew that has operated in Afghanistan would have one.

The award of medals will always be somewhat relative to the conflict that we find ourselves in; I don't mean this as a slight to those with DFCs from modern day conflicts but go back 75 years and you'd probably find that their acts of bravery would not get the same recognition as in WW2 when we were losing crews left right and centre.
