What about a badge for weapon drawed, readied and aimed, but didn't fire due to compliance of the potential target? If so, send me one.Teddy Ruxpin said:Well, I'm on record as disagreeing with the concept, but won't go there.
This will be very difficult to implement... Who shot who when will be a never ending debate, as will the definition of "shooting"... As George points out, how will backdating work? There are certainly Bosnia/Croatia vets who might (depending on the definitions used) qualify for one or more "combat" badges, not to mention Afghanistan...
Can of worms, opened...
You're right, "can of worms". I don't deserve anything for what I did BUT neither do I feel "right" wearing the ISAF star for my TAT duties in Kabul in 2003 when guys in combat get the same medal and bar. Sure, it was "dangerous" (for lack of a better term), but it sure as heck wasn't combat.
