Many kudos to Len for doing an excellent job in restoring this thread. Unfortunately the two pics I added to my last post did not survive the restoration. But no matter I will put them with this post.

Awarding a serviceman or woman a medal is just a cheap way of the government recognising what an individual has done for the country. But thousands of ex and current servicemen and women wear their medals with pride, as they should.

However blazey you are half right in your assertions that medals are not necessary if it applies to the generals, admirals and air marshals who sat behind desks deep underground well away from the nasty end of war, planning who should be killed or maimed next.

The civilians who got killed and maimed in the ‘Blitz’ are more deserving of recognition than the generals etc. safe in their bunker.

We fought to have terrorism laws inforced on us and 'politically correct' crap.

We blazey? Getting a bit above yourself, aren’t you?

Finally, please leave this thread alone so that others who follow can see what sort (in some cases) of younger generation we have spawned. Fortunately blazey is the exception because most youngsters that I know don’t think like you.
