It does stress that this should not be worn alongside operational/campaign medals, but who would buy this piece of tat? Cold War Warriors who spent their lives on Clutch Airfields
I'd say that does you a disservice.
Tat maybe, and few would even contemplate it but don't link such a medal with a legitimate "campaign".
We all fought the fight we were given. Careers are not a personal choice. You take the posting and do your best. Some tours bring glory, some don't, but all are Service in the truest sense.
I for one, enjoyed RAFG. We trained hard, and played hard but never fought. If we had, we'd have given as much and, perhaps, inevitably, more than some of those who serve today. Some of my friends who arrived at RAF Wildenrath never left.
I supported current ops for years and still spend every day watching how they are progressing but don't take away the victory that
was the Cold War and, ironically, through politics not conflict.
