Your Army gives out awards for playing certain battles?! My word... has it gotten that bad? No victories to celebrate?! You just give out an award for being there. What is this little league? "We dont keep score here, were all winners!" Yeah, you can take those ribbons and use them to patch the holes in the back of your uniforms you got while running away!

Side Note: kudos to Gen. Russo, my good friend, who kicked my butt at Chickamauga. Give him an award for that!

Is it just me or is the "High Activity Ribbon" Pink?
hmmmmm what does really go on back there in them locked bars?

[Target1221]

Nice catch Grant! I am so used to seeing everything the Yanks create with effeminate colors I just overlooked that.

It makes one wonder what sort of "high activity" they are participating in!

General Strickler, promise me you won't start handing out them silly medals just for fighting battles! What next!?
I reckon them Yanks even want to stop and eat before they wade in to a battle too!
