Major General Bil4338 Posted April 7, 2016 Major General Share Posted April 7, 2016 I have my fathers veterans badge as a reminder of him and his fathers service.I'd never think of wearing it though as I was only ever TA and didn't see combat.BTW, it's not numbered. these Walter Mitty's deserve a good kick up the rear at the very least.sometimes I despair of people... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pylon1357 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 We have our share these numpties as well in Canada. It pisses me off to no end. I do not understand the need for a former service member to embellish his or her service. I really do not understand the ones who never served, or never worked overseas in a War Zone as a civilian, trying to pull this crap off. I was at Kandahar Airfield for 29 months as a vehicle tech. Most of what I did was in Special Projects, a section that did vehicle mods to much of our armoured carrier fleet. I was also qualified to drive much of it as well for maintenance purposes. For my service, the Canadian Government saw fit to issue a GSM/SWA with my name on the rim. Later I received 4 tour bars for my medal, 1 for each 180 day period I was there after the 30 day qualifying time for the medal. I did my time as a civiy, I am damned proud of it. I do regret having not worn the uniform, however choices made at a young age didn't afford me that opportunity. T=I cannot believe these people think they have a right to wear something not earned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc hun Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I have to say it grips my shitter that these walts buy and wear medals that we earned with blood sweat and tears. i do believe there should be a stolen valour law for pretending to be something your not nore have ever been. they dishonour or brothers in arms past present and no longer with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
