Prosecute Stolen Valour, Says Military

General officers in the Ary Schiian Armed Forces are requesting the criminalisation of “stolen valour” - the impersonation of decorated service members, often with the motive of financial gain.

Debate

“These traitorous cowards need to be prosecuted!” says red-faced Vice Admiral Nelson Green while puffing out his chest, proudly showing off his own service medals. “They demean the heroic actions of veterans who did actually earn the medals, and desecrate the memory of those who died in service of Ary Schii. I know what my boys would do to these charlatans if they caught them, and I can’t promise I’d intervene! I’d like to see these pretenders try to earn the medals they want to show off. Actually, let’s do that - send all these fraudsters to the front line. That’ll teach them.”

I agree with this opinion.
