I've always thought award quotas were stupid and just reeked of people not wanting to do the paperwork or go through the process.
What are your thoughts on award quotas?
I don't think awards should be handed out like candy, but if soldiers are deserving then they should be recognized.

I lost respect for the Army award system after my second combat tour. I saw people who never left the FOB earn BSM's while I saw soldiers who engaged bad guys while outnumbered overcome and kill them, only to be denied an award because they were below the rank of SGT
AND , later that year, I learned of a female who was awarded a Silver Star for doing less than my guys did. So politics is DEFINITELY in play. Just take care of your own guys the best you can.
