Legion of Merit? The new good conduct medal for GOs.
The medal system is just one busted cog in the jacked up clockwork that is the military career system. Ain’t getting fixed, ever.
Legion of Merit was less wordy than Legion of Self-serving Manipulative Political Maneuverability.
Plus it gives the impression everything is a meritocracy.
