But hey, giving out virtual medals for bravery is a little much, even for me.
Lol....
Well, we don't give 'em for bravery... Unless they fly as my wingman, and it comes with a Section 8 discharge attached.

We give them out for best fighter score, attack score, bomber score, squad night attendence and so on.
I'd like to add a few, like most time in a chute, or for the most "something got me, but I don't know what" vox messages.
Seriously, it's been a =Ghosts= tradition since the early days of AW to have tour awards. For guys who are struggling to improve their skills, a little positive reinforcement goes a long way.
However, I do understand your point, and I agree that it's certainly amusing, especially within the context of current events.
Oh, by the way, thanks HTC for getting the score pages up.
My regards,
Widewing
