Just the Emperor rewarding the Praetorian Guard.

Morale is absolutely gutted in the rank and file from what I hear out of DC. Not sure about officers.

I'm sure the eventual political prisoners will be delighted to hear that the guy about to shoot them in the head does so unenthusiastically.

They have lost confidence in leadership and thus their motivation to execute orders. This will decrease the quality of everything they do, and increase the loyalty to officers who most effectively tell the higher ups to fuck off. It's prime conditions for a Caesar to arise, or the whole military apparatus to waste away like the 80s red army.

I was going to make a joke about this but I'm not sure if it would get me accused of fed posting. It's a shame, because wikipedia made such a nice list and everything.

Will the cop that executed an unarmed woman named Ashley Babbitt be given the Purple Heart?

There has been trend of devaluing the pieces of flair. Infantry used to have the exclusive Combat Infantryman Badge for obvious reasons. They made a Combat Action Badge so the POGs could feel better about themselves, and both are currently handed out for being within a couple miles of a backfiring car that sounded like gunfire. The unit patch on the right arm is awarded for deploying to a war zone with said unit, but the most recent update to AR670-1 makes it hostile conditions (aka anywhere some officer wants more presitige). It's all participation trophies now.

New officers are not to be trusted. Senior enlisted and officers above O-3 should be assumed to be actively malicious until proven otherwise. Generals doubly so.

You simply can't replace troops on the ground in warfare. The ultimate goal of any nation level conflict is to get your people onto the soil you want to control. Anyone who doesn't recognize this is either a liar, a future loser, or a liar who wants to lose.

Ribbons for landing under sniper fire?

You ever notice how Communist officers have a wall of medals on their uniforms?

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten that the exaggeration in Lollybomb wasn't that the officers had a ton of medals, it was that they had so many that they ran down their pant legs.
