There's gonna be a new "combat" medal for drone operators which will rank higher than the Bronze Star with Combat V.  If you don't know what that is, google it.  This blows my mind..

Those folks need incentives just like anyone does, but a combat medal seems a bit of a stretch.  $ bonus seems a better fit.
