Soldier was recommended for a MSM. There is already talk that it will get downgraded due to Soldier's rank. Soldier has put in the work for the award but the requestor has already been told it will get downgraded.

Should a commander be able to say that they will only give a Bronze Star Medal to SSGs and above? Is this how awards are determined IAW AR 600-8-22? What if a SGT or below has met the criteria to earn a more prestigious award? Why does BDE or higher say that they are only alloted a certain number of awards for deployment or PCS or for an impact award? If your repsonse is "Tradition" or "That's the way it always has been," does that make it right?
