can’t quite understand the link that you are trying to make.
surely you can recognise those who made the ultimate sacrifice without wearing medals of questionable merit.
Well of course it is an entirely personal choice. Why questionable merit? The specific campaigns they were awarded for were questionable? Goes for any campaign probably. If you feel strongly enough about it fine. I've no idea whether my campaign, Confrontation, was questionable or not. Quite frankly I don't much care, I went where I was sent and did what I was told to. The revisionists will explain eventually why that was wrong no doubt. So I'll wear my GSM (and incidentally my Dad's, who never returned, WWII group on my right breast) next November and I respect your choice not to. I doubt few will take much notice either way.
