Dumb rule

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.
