Medal inflation is a term used by the media particularly in the United States to describe the increase in the number of medals awarded to the armed forces in recent times and a perceived devaluing of medals because of this. It has been discussed since at least 1979 when a book was published relating to the Vietnam War. The War on Terror and particularly the 2003 Invasion of Iraq saw a resurgence in coverage, as there was a rapid increase in the number of medals awarded by the American forces. There was, however, a significant reduction in the volume of medals as the war entered the counter-insurgency phase.

- メダル・インフレーション(Medal inflation)は、もっぱらアメリカ合衆国のメディアによって使われた用語で、軍隊における勲章や徽章等、すなわちメダルの種類や授与数が増えたことによって、個々の章の価値が低下したかのように認識されることを指す。少なくとも1979年にベトナム戦争に関する書籍で取り上げられて以来、議論の対象になってきた。いわゆる対テロ戦争、とりわけ2003年のイラク侵攻以降、アメリカ軍によるメダルの授与が増加したため、この用語は再び報道に現れるようになった。 (ja)
