Tweetsorry fellas but i think that if you are sitting behind a cpu screen at an afb in the us or eruope flying one of these bad boys and not in harms way actually then you shouldnt get dick. maybe a commendation or something like that but nothing that being in combat is required to be awarded. that's how i see it. you dont have to get dirty or up relatively close to the bad guys or risk getting blown up or shot down enroute then it's not actually in combat
