	Bronze Star: Pentagon Review
		A recent review by the Stars and Stripes of the way the Bronze Star was awarded to U.S. personnel involved in the airstrikes on Yugoslavia found that the Air Force awarded 185 of the medals, the vast majority going to officers and top commanders.
		In the Navy, most of the 69 Bronze Stars awarded went to officers out in the fleet where Yugoslavia’s navy made the Adriatic and Ionian seas part of the combat zone; although at least four were awarded to staff officers in Naples, Italy, for work far from harm’s way.
		The Defense Department’s criteria for the Bronze Star, created during World War II at the urging of Gen. George C. Marshall as a ground-unit counterpart to the Air Medal, states that it should be awarded to troops "engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States" or an "opposing foreign force."
