The Wartime Awards System

Abstract

The major factor in determining what award to issue a Soldier is often not the act of heroism or the performance of duty. Instead, it is based on the rank the Soldier possesses and the award system becomes a shell of what it is intended to be. Additionally, there are individuals that use their rank and loopholes in the regulation to garner awards that they are not entitled to.
