Respect indeed...but lest not forget that for every person/unit awarded a gong, there goes 'virtually' every other human being on the front line....it just wasn't their 'moment' in history.
Most of us who are/were in the military and expected to go front line, knew the score and did our best. ALL of them deserve a medal in some shape or form for they are all brave people putting themselves in harm's way to better the chances of a safer future back home. No complaints, no unions, no compunction.
Next war please...............................................
