The CAB (or some such) has been discussed extensively here before. I am on record as firmly opposing it and have seen nothing recently to change my mind. Those who claim it won't cause an "us and them" mentality need only to search previous threads on this subject, where serving soldiers were openly dubbed "wogs" during the debate.
Alas, despite all the issues - and there are many - it appears we're going to have to live with it, with all the problems it will cause. Implementation alone will be a headache of epic proportions, not least of which is determining who actually qualifies and at what level. My fear is that it will become an issue for career progression - especially in the combat arms - and that we'll have to establish an enormous tracking and administration system in an effort to keep everyone honest.
Who wants a bronze, after all, when the "heroes" are wearing gold. Bloody hell...
