From the article:
"Valor to me is not risking your life," he said. "Valor is doing what is right. Valor is about your motivations and the ends that you seek. It is doing what is right for the right reasons. That to me is valor."
Sorry, this is twaddle. Valour is being scared and going anyway. If you're not scared, then you're not doing it.

Sorry, but I just cannot see how a UAV operator gets to up his "status" above a someone like a Patriot Missile Operator. They do not give air-traffic controllers "wings" or call them "pilots".
