Here would certainly be all right, if you order did not carry even the "order of precedence", i.e. the order in which the individual honors he wears, and thus what the importance of enjoying.
Order now a DFC means that this medal, awarded to those who de facto were never physically in the fight, is superior honors for the courage manifested in direct contact with the enemy, therefore Bronze Star even a medal for combat injury - Purple Heart. And this fact sparked a real uproar among the veterans and among the actively serving troops.
The new secretary of defense Hagel had to respond, and ordered a revision of the previous decision and suggested that the operators of drones received the special labels to the existing honors and thus maintain order priority honors for soldiers deployed in direct combat.
