#2 Soldiers do not look highly on such crap, as any soldier stupid enough to sport such a "decoration" will quickly discover. While they may put it in their 201 file, they will neglect to wear it on their dress uniform.

Nor will they put it on their resumes. Officers will join in, and issue the citation as punishment for bad behavior, and that will kill it quickly. "You screw up one more time, and you won't get an Article 15. I'll issue you a "courageous restraint" award, in front of your unit."
