VC's 'cheapened' by being awarded to SAS bods in Afghanistan.
Today's Sunday Express (glimpsed in the garage while buying a real paper) seemed to have a story saying that Blair et al were pushing for VCs to be awarded to some Hereford chaps for their part in the recent Afghan shindig.
I don't know what they did, nor how fearfully brave they had to be (much braver than some fat-arsed civvy journo just to go there, don't get me wrong) so I can't judge whether such an award would be to degrade Britain's premier gallantry award, but it seemed like an interesting story, and I almost wish I'd bought the paper. Anyone know the story?
