I was going to say "at least it's not a medal....."
and then common sense kicked in.
Thanks Dingerr.Guinness. It's the first food group.

We can muster about 3 dozen on a good night, and 70% of mine wear commemoratives, and their ilk. One guy has a severe lapel badge fetish. Most are WWII vets. We have a handful of falklands/gulf guys, and only two from the last decade's ops. There is one guy who will wear the NSM on its own, on his regimental blazer, and I happen to think he looks respectable. It's the guys I mentioned above, who have well earned racks but want to make them bigger. Who are they going to pull at their age?
I read a post somewhere, I can't remember if it was here or another forum, that referred to these types of guys as professional ex-serviceman. It was spot-on, whomever wrote it."Intrigued by the mysterious case of the MI6 agent, he asked his daughter Izzy, 16, to climb inside an identical North Face bag to test his theory."

The real tragedy of this is that some fuckers out there are buying this tat, they would not be making it, if no one was buying it.

I wonder if they'll do one with Warsaw, Kursk, Crete and Stalingrad?

That has to be the tackiest tacky thing I've ever seen.
"for occasions when you would not wear full medals" just wear this tacky thing which screams "LOOK AT ME! ME! OVER HERE! LOOK AT ME I'M NOT WEARING MY MEDALS!
I shall not be buying one and shall therefore maintain my dignity.
Rodney2qIn the career of glory one gains many things; the gout and medals, a pension and rheumatism....all of these fatigues experienced in your youth, you pay for when you grow old. Because one has suffered in years gone by, it is necessary to suffer more, which does not seem exactly fair.
