Prisoner of War Medallion: Difference between revisions

The '''Prisoner of War Medallion''' is a medal awarded to [[UNSC]] personnel who have been [[Prisoner of War|captured]] in combat by enemies of the [[UNSC]]. It is an honorable decoration, though few [[Human]]s have it. The [[Covenant]] do not take prisoners, except the occasional straggler to execute for sport. There are few other enemies of the [[UNSC]] that the military contends with, so the medallion is a rare sight.  

As of [[2552]], the Prisoner of War Medallion is the only service medal that has not been awarded to a [[Spartan]], namely the [[John-117|Master Chief]]. Technically, [[John-117]] and his team should have received this award, because in [[Halo: Ghosts Of Onyx]] they were captured by [[United Rebel Front|rebels]] at [[Camp New Hope]]. However, having the [[Spartan]]s being captured by rebels might have created a bad image for the [[UNSC]].
