I say let them wear the medal and to hell with the rule.

Veterans barred from wearing medal

LONDON Thousands of veterans of the war in Borneo in the 1950s and 1960s who have recently received special medals from the Malaysian Government will be barred from wearing them at Remembrance Day services this Sunday.
Last week alone, hundreds of ex-soldiers who fought communist rebels in the jungles of Borneo were presented with the Pingat Jasa Malaysia (PJM) medal, right. Under a longstanding ruling, veterans are not allowed to wear two medals for the same campaign � and they were previously awarded a General Service Medal for their service in Borneo.

But think of the paperwork the government desk monkeys will have to do if they wear two medals!!!

How cruel of those soldiers to be so inconsiderate. Pfft it's not like they put their lives on the line for their country or anything.

oh wait a sec....

I can see the logic.

Wearing two medals that are both for the same action isn't really on.

Sounds totally stupid?? a medal is sponsored by a formal authority ans is providing the formal thank-you for an above-usual performance.

How can some of them collide? I don't understand? Someone can explain?
