do you know or have you ever heard of anyone in the cf turning a medal back in?.
story: i did a tour on the hmcs calgary in the persian gulf in 2003. we were awarded the S.W.A.S.M. with the afghanistan bar. i have never felt right wearing this seeing as the persian gulf is not south west asia. however with recent events (rest their souls) i feel positively guilty wearing an afghanistaan bar. i have asked around and nobody takes me seriously.
an opinion from thos ein the army on this matter would be appreciated. especially advice on how to get rid of something i dont think i deserve
much thx
