Can you imagine a job like this? A chance to serve your country while shooting and trying to kill "suspected militants" in foreign countries. These drone pilots are sitting in a comfy Operations room somewhere in Nevada looking for bad guys to kill. As the suspects come out of their shack, you zero in on them and press the fire button. Kaboom goes the missile and all that's left is a cloud of dust and blood… And a big hole where they once stood.

What do you think SodaHead's? Are these actions worthy of a medal in recognition of meritorious service to the US. i.e. Distinguished Flying Cross

Not if you're talking Silver/Bronze Star, Purple Hearts etc. Maybe some ribbon a certain number of kills. At least let them do like pilots do and paint kills on the side of their computer or car maybe.
