Second Lebanon War
Ribbon The Israel Defense Force dumps another tradition |
|
www.zahal.org |
The new campaign ribbon for the
Second Lebanon War is only presented in metal version, covered with
enamel, this in contrast to the other IDF ribbons that were all
cloth ribbons. The origin of the ribbon is the way medals were once
awarded - hanging on a ribbon. The use of enamel in stead of silk or
other textile by the IDF is another step in doing away with old
traditions. Since it is very unlikely that one will combine the new
enamel ribbon with cloth ribbons for other campaigns or decorations,
the consequence is that from now on only enamel versions will be
worn! The next step may be a simple plastic pin, made in China. |
