What is the most prestigious military decoration that your country has to offer?

Britain - Victoria Cross

No, we're a narco ridden shithole with a useless military corps.

I wish we actually had fascism.

For outstanding service above and beyond the call of duty

the vast majority are awarded posthumously.

Completely untrue

>>74938086
Reading just about any event which heralded the awarding of a Medal of Honor is absolutely fucking insane shit.
Same with the Victoria Cross.

Légion d'honneur.

But it's worthless now honestly since we just give it to anyone who did something remotely cool.
It has lost its prestige.

Mannerheim Cross, it's part of the Order of the white rose.

The awarded personnel were called knights of mannerheim cross.

>What is the most prestigious military decoration that your country has to offer?
A dishonourable discharge.
Military service is mostly seen as something a right winger would do.
>>
Seems that our cunt gives
>"Medalla de Valor" medal of valour
and
>" Cruz de la guerra" War cross
But since we are not at war only the 1st one can be given
Our cunt tends to give medals depending on the situation, like pic related was given for service on the far east during WW2

I've found there's 2 extremes on this matter.

Yankees who repeat the "we da good boys yeehaaww freedom" shit whilst praising the military and then the germans who are extremely disproportonally disgruntled at anything that's even loosely related to military even to a extent of pure delusion.

Just an analysis.

Our 'military' is underfounded, the equipment is broken and our politicans refuse to give the army a purpose since 1949.
Right now, our minister of defence (female ofc) banned all images that shows anything that looks like the Wehrmacht because of muh nazis
As someone who served until 2010 I feel sorry for my comrads and ashamed

what the fuck is a proper one? they're literally the same
>>
>>74952333
At least Australia's, Canada's, and New Zealand's are technically separate awards since they've developed their own honours systems separate from the British one. Usually these countries use a mixture of their own medals and some British medals.
>>
>>74952486
Aren't VCs presented by the monarch though?
>>
>>74952549
I imagine the Governor General probably would since the Queen usually isn't around. The monarchies are also technically separate as well; the Queen is Queen of Canada separately from being Queen of the UK, Queen of Australia, etc.
>>
>>74952486
yup
>It was previously awarded to Commonwealth countries, most of which have established their own honours systems and no longer recommend British honours.
>>
>>74952691
I wouldn't mind this if not for the fact that they almost definitely lowered the bar
>>
>>74952750
Canada hasn't awarded any since it was separated in the 90s. I think fewer than 100 Canadians (and Newfoundlanders when they were separate) have won the award. The stories you hear are always crazy shit as well.
