Come on all you CoD fanboys. If you only thought that Lan compititions were the best you could achieve, the US military have a new way to show your leet gaming skilz.
The new Distinguished Warfare Medal, dubbed the "Geek's Cross" by detractors, ranks above the Purple Heart, which is awarded to those wounded in combat.
The award recognises "extraordinary achievement" by troops "who may not even be on the same continent as the action" and is intended for practitioners of cyber warfare or pilots of unmanned vehicles.
So now you can actually get a medal, thats real, not virtual, for you ability to create online killstreaks.
Comments on the VFW's Facebook page speculated that that the Pentagon could soon be handing out medals for those wounded in video games.
