It appears there is an agenda to take the First Amendment and twist it like a pretzel, rendering it meaningless. When the First goes, all the others will follow, and none of us will have any rights anymore.
Give me one example where somebody would wear an unearned medal that was not intended to benefit them...even if it was simply for self-aggrandizement, or because the pretty colors matched their clothes and eyes, it's (at least in their mind) advantageous to wear it.
