Free Bi-Annual Vacation to Middle East

It seems there's a memorandum put out by the Staff Director of the House Armed Services Committee. The "Global War on Terror" may no longer be referred to as such, according to language on page 11.

Now, I've read it. And I understand the purpose of a "style guide". I don't truly believe there's a nefarious element here.

However, I can't resist one little jab.

So, if there were a reference to one of those nice and pretty ribbons the Army handed out by the bajillions, would it be okay to still call it the "Global War on Terrorism Service Medal" (or Expeditionary Medal, as the case may be)? Or, will it be like the BINGO song from our youth...

(clap)(clap)(clap)(clap) Service Medal...
(clap)(clap)(clap)(clap) Service Medal...
(clap)(clap)(clap)(clap) Service Medal...
and Medal was it's Name-o...
