I've been watching my nephew try to play football.
He was on the field for ten minutes, then started crying. He still got a medal at the end of it all.

It's his fifth birthday next week.
He was the youngest on the team and didn't have a proper kit, so he played in a Leed's Rhinos top and shorts.

For fuck sake.
When I was a kid, we earned our medals. In Normandy and all that.

I fought hard to make sure he didn't get one.
I didn't lose a leg in Vietnam so they could reward pansies.
