I guess I'm missing the point on many of these posts. Is the ridicule based on the fact that the Air Force had a Good Conduct Medal, or the fact that it is getting rid of its Good Conduct Medal. I'm assuming that everyone posting here realizes that the Army, Navy and Marine Corps all have Good Conduct Medals as well. It appears the Air Force is just the first service to expect good conduct as the norm, rather than something to be awarded with a medal.
Nice try
I think that it is because the Air Force appears to have the leisure and time to dwell on subjects so important to our national defense, especially during a time of war.
Did that clarify the point at all?
