  1. @VIPICCB8 Why do you bother to post?

  2.  @Grumfuttocks  You're absolutely correct. He is also a qualified helicopter pilot and parachutist.

  3. Says someone who, I assume, has no decorations himself.

  4. Australia, Canada and New Zealand have all awarded decorations at different times. The king also has the Long Service Good Conduct medal that he was awarded for service in the Royal Navy, and the Silver, Gold, Diamond and Platinum Jubilee medals. Now laugh on the other side of your face. All you have done is expose your own ignorance.

  5. He is the king. He is also an officer who retired from the Royal Navy.

  6. Bad luck. He clearly has no intention of doing so. His coronation is scheduled three weeks from now.

  7.  @jenny4204  Right back at you. Jill Osler makes a very valid point.

  8. Perhaps God is doing just that.

  9. Ladies and gentlemen - another uninformed fool. Not all medals are awarded for bravery. There are, for example, campaign medals - awarded for being in a theatre of operations. There are long service good conduct medals - which are self explanatory, and King Charles has one for his years of service in the Royal Navy. There are jubilee medals, which area warded to military personnel who are on duty during a particular jubilee. The late queen's reign produced four of these decorations, and King Charles has them all. At the end of both the World Wars, there were victory medals - everyone serving at the time of the cease fire got one. Many African states issued independence medals, again for obvious reasons. My own twenty five years in the service taught me an important fact about medals - the only people who sneer at medals are the envious bastards who have none.

  10.  @jenny4204  So, I repeat; Jill Osler makes a valid point. All you have done is make catty noises.
