Sounds like it is similar to the USA's National Defense service Medal. One thing I did not think was fair was the exclusion of women.
Quote:
Also excluded were large numbers of women who enlisted after World War II for what was then an initial period of four years, and those injured in training accidents, who felt obliged to seek discharge before they had chalked up six years.
Just my opinion.
