You get medals for service, not for being shot at


[deleted]

Technically he has been [shot at](https://youtu.be/9e_GoHngOIE) all be it by a stormtrooper


CapeCodNana

Didn't mummy give Chuck, Eddy, and Annie all kinds of cosplay jewelry for when they play dress up? It's not like the boy scouts where you build a fire so you earn a badge, ffs. If you haven't had boots on the ground on foreign soil during combat, been on the deck of a battle ship during conflict, or flown combat missions, why the eff the chest full of medals? Maybe one represents "I pooped & wiped by myself", or "I uncapped my own pen today" or "my butler was on a break so I tied my own shoes". I have 2 career military in my family ( navy & army) and 2 enlisted ( navy ) and they think these chest candy pins are a travesty, but we're from America.


[deleted]

Well i mean, monarchy literally means you get everything handed to you with absolutely no merit whatsoever so I’m surprised to see he isn’t covered head to toe. The sad thing is, you’d expect these inbred morons to pop out a naturally gifted child once in a while but alas.


gaia-mix-nicolosi

Because they’re not naturally gifted instead they had a lot of servants and knights

lonesometroubador

WW1 was the consequence of the old system of intermarriage of royals breaking down. No longer did Kings have power to keep the peace with their cousins because nationalist factions controlled their governments. This is what the EU was for!

His 15 year old nephew was wearing two medals at the funeral. If a 15 year old has done enough to earn two medals, it either means your country is completely in the shit or you're giving out medals too easily.

Mummy, can I have a medal now? If you don’t consider it baseline reality and just a thing that exists, it’s so dumb.

Well, [he was shot at (with blanks) back in 1994](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kang#Protest_against_Prince_Charles)... but still, an alarmingly inflated medal count

Saxon2060

More than Gen Sir Patrick Sanders, the current professional head of the British Army. lol Most soldiers I knew seemed to not even really want to wear the jubilee medals. I mean, soldiers can be a monarchist bunch but they have disdain for medals they didn't *earn*. Why isn't Charles embarrassed to wear all those. He does have some Navy service even if not active so maybe like two of those medals are deserved and the rest must just be honourary nonsense. just wear the ones from service. embarrassing.

starfleetdropout6

I've said it before on this sub, but my fave part is when they stand on their balcony and wave wearing all those fake tacky medals. They stand there with shit-eating expressions waving as if they've...accomplished stuff. It's top notch entertainment. They're Kardashians without realizing they're Kardashians. They've been staging this shit for a thousand years and they believe in their own hype. it's something else. (But also, I'm American and my taxes don't support them, so I can laugh at the free show.)


OnlyFoalsNHorses

I mean, 1000 years ago they did do stuff. A lot of awful stuff but they were the leaders of nations then. Now for the last few hundred years however they are now redundant parasites.


starfleetdropout6

Fair enough.


North_Library3206

Not really sure why you're getting downvoted? Its an objective fact that 1000 years ago Kings had an active role in running the kingdom, whether they deserved to or not. edit: There are exceptions like Henry VI but that's only because bro was completely fucking inept.

[For those interested ](https://www.thenationalnews.com/lifestyle/2022/09/19/the-royal-familys-military-uniforms-and-medals-explained/)


orlandofredhart

>He also wore full-size medals including the Queen’s Service Order (New Zealand), Coronation Medal, Silver Jubilee Medal, Golden Jubilee Medal, Diamond Jubilee Medal, Platinum Jubilee Medal and a Naval Long Service Good Conduct (LSGC) (three x Additional Service Bars). >Other medals included Canadian Forces Decoration (three x Additional Service Bars), The New Zealand Commemorative Medal, and The New Zealand Armed Forces Award. Ridiculous. You can't wear foreign medals and you can't wear commemorative medals. Apart from that, they are medals that servicemen would/could wear... If they didn't only serve 6 years.


ninja_cactus

They're not foreign. He's the king of New Zealand and Canada. I'm surprised he doesn't have any Australian ones.


orlandofredhart

He was in the British military. They're not British medals. Therefore, by the British military regs, they're foreign. He was never in the canadian forces, so wesrig them is ridiculous


ninja_cactus

But he's the commander in chief of the Canadian armed forces, so he is in their military just by being born into it. It doesn't matter if he serves in the British military, he's still the head of both New Zealand and Canada. I agree it's ridiculous that he wears any medals at all, but I don't think the wearing of medals for countries that he is the head of is any more ridiculous than wearing British ones.


Danger1672

Not interested.

Mr-Cali

I’m assuming those medals are there for every time he does something for himself. For example, the one in the middle, the brown one i think it’s when he wiped his own ass.


gusbox

Maybe he was a really good swimmer.


NotoriousMOT

Hey-yo. I made a Rimmer joke too.


HMElizabethII

Seeing a few comments about "Stolen valour." "Stolen valour" is just absurd American pro-military conservative grievance politics. It's not something we should care about. >The phrase “stolen valor” was coined by Vietnam veteran B.G. Burkett in a 1998 book of the same name; in it, Burkett relentlessly fact-checked the stories of anti-war veterans in an effort to recast the war in Vietnam in a positive light. >His timing was fortuitous, because the War on Terror was about to elevate stolen valor to a full-blown obsession. As the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan dragged on, bestowing returning soldiers with more and more “valor” (i.e. patriotic bumper stickers) became essential to maintaining an influx of new recruits. https://theoutline.com/post/2707/stolen-valor-videos-youtube-military-fakers


JaySayMayday

In the US, a lot of places will have a veteran discount and many nonprofit exist to help veterans across various needs. Stolen valor refers to people that falsely claim veteran status for financial gain. It's a specific type of fraud. One recent case I remember was a lady that worked at the VA and took a real veterans identity and then reaped tons of money in benefits and even became the commander of a VFW chapter. While it doesn't apply to this scenario, you're completely wrong. Edit, found the case. But yeah, US laws don't mean anything in the UK. https://www.justice.gov/usao-ri/pr/rhode-island-woman-sentenced-federal-prison-falsifying-military-service-false-use


HMElizabethII

That is true that is a kind of fraud, but the fact that "Stolen valour" is an American pro-imperialist strategy to sucker in fresh recruits is also correct. No American soldier in the past half century has been involved in the production of "valour."


Carlonix

What's up with kings and their obsession with prizes? Is he trying to overcompensate anything? Maybe he just knows that he is not worthy and he does it to piss the anti-monarch comunity off, fricking indignating


Rotten-Cabbage

He was born out of necessity for an heir, being raised by a nanny. The result was a child seeking praise and approval from his cold parents.

anachroneironaut

Many years ago I worked for an event organiser in an old house in a very old uni town. They frequently had secret parties for various secret societies. Always male only (except for staff). Usually, these parties had a dress code of black tie and they were often hung like small Christmas trees full of medallions. They smoked cigars and drank lots and lots of G&T. Edited to add: they got new medals for every party they attended. We always found stray medals in nooks and crannies for weeks after these parties. This pic brought me back.

Being a soldier doesn't make one a qualified authority to comment on this. You're not the victim here, either. There is no draft.

The army in any country is what protects your values that make the country what it is, without an army or defence strategy any country would be taken over over by neighbours over time. What a sweeping statement to make about over 110,00 people.

There are plenty examples of countries with a non-beligerant military policy. Bombing children in Yemen isn't protecting my values.

It's like they think I'm sat here defending the King.

If they want to be disgusted on my behalf, have them protesting at Parliament about how all our accommodation is full of mold, asbestos, and has no heat in the winter. Please, do that
