Seems like Orwell and Huxley wasted every second they even bothered to write their books.

courageous restraint medal.
McChrystal put the kibosh on those plans.
The idea for the medal originated with British Maj. Gen. Nick Carter, NATO commander of troops in southern Afghanistan. Carter floated the idea during a visit to Kandahar in April by British Army Command Sgt. Maj. Michael Hall.
But McChrystal, who is leading coalition forces in Afghanistan, told reporters during a press conference at the Pentagon today that the military does not need a new medal to recognize a particular kind of valor.
