My point about medals was not about the deserving souls who would wear it with pride, but about all the others it will be awarded to. I can think of quite a few people wearing Jubilee Medals I have served with whom I wouldn't trust to run a bath.
Ultimately, when one is a member of a medal order, one has to be proud to be in it. I would not be proud to wear an award which has eligibility criteria which exclude a considerable number of people who ought to get it, and lets in a considerable number who oughtn't.
