Your belief is correct... A specialist will routinely get an AAM while an officer would get at least an ARCOM or MSM for the same thing but it's kind of a lost argument because the higher you go the more inflated the award.
It's ridiculous the emphasis civilians place on it. I'm fully retired and proud of my service but I've never understood the relevance this has to politics. Lots of people are walking around with things they didn't deserve, with more than they deserved or without what they deserved.
We're on the same wavelength on this one.
Military awards aren't proof of squat. I'm proud of the ones I got and some of them very high but damn... trust a bunch of people who don't know how the system works to be impressed with shiny decorations.
