British war veterans have thrown away their medals outside Downing Street in protest against the Government's decision to bomb Syria and to bust the “mythology” of heroism connected to the military.
Ex SAS soldier Ben Griffin, who led the Veterans for Peace protest on Tuesday, told The Independent that although difficult, discarding their medals was an important gesture to discourage future generations from aspiring to win war medals.
He had already binned his medal in the summer but joined the protest to discard an award of a disabled veteran who was unable to attend.

Let's not get excited.Most ex service men are proud to have served their country.When you go looking at little organisations called 'Veterans for peace' then it's pretty obvious that the people you're gonna find in there are anti war no matter the situation we're facing and are a small minority.
