I’m guessing that you never served or you wouldn’t be asking.
I served, and I have the same question. Of course, I also don’t wear decorations I didn’t earn, but those who do are pathetic losers who should be shamed but not treated as criminals.
How is that relevant? There are a lot of things I find offensive as well, but I don’t believe in making recourse to the law to suppress them.
This is the kind of logic that is justifying hate-crime legislation (adding thought-crime as an aggravating factor in ordinary crimes) and to people being prosecuted by various governments for criticising Islam or Homosexuality....
