I disagree with Orca and Easy Street
The British Military have had recognition for the wounded in action in the past - wound stripes, King's Badge, War Service Badge, etc... It only fell out of favour for the Korean War and ever since. Many of our Commonwealth buddies have had similar and the Canadians got rid of the wound stripe for a new medal in 2008 with Her Majesty's head on it:
The Canadian Sacrifice Medal is for those wounded or killed in action.
As for those that think every brave action is rewarded with a gallantry award - think again. Many get wounded doing very brave things and do not get written up - what happens when the Platoon Cdr or NCO cops it? Who does the citation then?
No, I like the idea of an emblem for the campaign medal for those that stay in and a seperate badge for those medically discharged - they have after all, made a significant sacrifice for our country and deserve recognition (more so than some of the strokers that get gongs in the New Year and Queen's Birthday Honours Lists!!!).
SASless - I think you are right to feel insulted, and I, Sir, would like to say how very lucky you are to have a country that recognises the pain and sacrifice you have suffered.
