I know this is a 2 minutes of hate thread, but Richard Dean Anderson got the same for his work on the TV show Stargate SG-1, which I thought was pretty cool.

I'm not Amercian, or Canadian, so I don't really understand the feelings towards military, but if I was an actor and they gave me a cool lapel pin I'd be pretty happy.

It's basically the government thanking them for making propaganda

It is known that SG-1 had an impact on USAF enlistments. The show got a good deal on access to military assets for filming, but they weren't under duress to change the show at the behest of the USAF. The deal was that an adviser would give them notes, and they chose to adhere to the notes or not. I think as the show got more futuristic they had less of a deal with them.
