Canadian flags are displayed at The Royal Canadian Legion, St. James Branch No. 4 in Winnipeg, on Thursday, November 8, 2018.The Royal Canadian Legion says it has taken a landmark decision to expel two members for wearing military commendations they did not earn as the 95-year-old veterans’ organization crack downs on instances of “stolen valour.”
“The Legion has taken a big hit over the years on different cases of stolen valour, and justly so,” Irvine said of past criticisms the organization was not doing enough to curb such behaviour by members. “But I’m tired of it. We’ve got to put a stop to this.”The wearing of unearned military medals and commendations has long been a sore point for serving military members and veterans.
Not only do those who make illegitimate claims of military service or sacrifice degrade the honour of those who have served, Irvine said, they also tarnish the reputation of the Legion if they are members of the organization. That is why he personally pushed for new bylaws and direction to punish those found to have claimed service or commendations falsely, Irvine said, which includes automatically expelling for life any members convicted under the Criminal Code of unlawfully wearing a military uniform or medal.
So I guess all the commendations playing 'War Thunder' does not count.
Like the Liberals Defence Minister Sajjan.
What about for wearing a yarmulke?
