Army cracks down on foreign foot march badges, sparking backlash
By Davis Winkie
 Thursday, Sep 1
 
A German soldier hands cold beer to a team of U.S. troops after they cross the finish line after marching in the annual Marche Internationale de Diekirch, Diekirch, Luxembourg, May 22, 2016. Under a new Army policy change, they can no longer wear their medals from this event. (Spc. Tracy McKithern/Army)
Army human resources officials removed two foreign foot march awards from the service’s authorized-for-wear list Wednesday morning, and many of the Army’s most-popular foreign awards could be in jeopardy, some fear.

Service officials updated the Army’s awards regulation to ban soldiers from wearing the Holland Four Day Event Cross or Luxembourg’s International March of Diekirch Medal, according to a post from a restricted-access discussion forum. A source shared photos of the discussion thread with Army Times.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
