It is an honorable decoration, though few [[Human]]s have it. The [[Covenant Empire|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-II Program|Spartan-II]], namely the Master Chief. Although [[John-117]] and his team should have received this award following their capture by the [[United Rebel Front]] at [[Camp New Hope]], the medal was not awarded, perhaps due to political reasons. John-117 may also have been eligible for the award following his detainment by the [[Gravemind]] on [[Installation 05]], as well as his capture and interrogation by [[Covenant Loyalists]] while aboard the [[Forerunner Dreadnought]] prior to its arrival at Earth. Though not accepted as canon, John-117's capture as depicted by the Halo 3 [[Diorama]] may also have yielded the medal. | |||
