Uniforms are given out at the click of your fingers or willy nilly, but medals have to be earn't by the person, uniforms are ten-a-penny but medals are not, vehicles we buy for the enjoyment of our hobby and are marked accordingly, and as for carrying a weapon of war I assume you mean a gun, weel that is given to you as a neccessity to "defend" or to fight with, with medals you have to earn them and apart from campaign ones, they are'nt easy to get.
