Angry MoD to issue "veterans badge" to service leavers.

Is it just me or do you guys find the concept of being given a Blue Peter style badge when you leave the RAF, which is supposedly a "thank you and well done for giving us the best years of your life (tri-service style)" reward offensive??????

Apparently Mr Caplin and Buff Hoon think it is a great idea. Personally, I think it's an insult.

If there should be something to show recognition of service. it should be a struck medal for service in the RAF, be it one month or 40 years.

Thoughts please on what i think is an emotive subject.

Thanks,

Exleckie.
