CountDC said:I don't think anyone was really arguing for or against the medal based on name, I think the point was that if we are going to have it then lets at least give it a proper name and leave the GG out of it.
Here is another question:
Does everyone get the medal regardless of release reason? example - Johnny gets booted for using drugs too many times, does he deserve a medal to show off?

I have never heard of someone getting a 'dishonourable', and getting the medal, for starters you must do a mininum of 4 yrs service and/or met the critera for this award.

So far this medal is no more than someone's pipe dream. Some people within Canada are petitioning the government for it's adoption. The government, to this point, has shown no real interest. As a result, no criteria has been evolving. i.e.: who gets it.
IF it comes about, and IF the government decides to study it, it will be properly staffed and executed, including the requirements for elegibility. While the committee MAY research it, they are under no obligations to look at, consult or depend upon what some other country deems appropriate for it's people. It will be a Canadian award for Canadians, or whomever the criteria fits. I don't care what the US or Australia does. What they have to do for their award is immaterial to us. While other countries have similar awards, I only need to read about them once to understand it and consider the points for discussion.
