I stumbled upon the Afghan Freedom Medal that was approved by Afghanistan to present to foreign Soldiers who helped them. The US never accepted it and therefore we are not authorized to be awarded it or wear it. What are your thoughts? Should we have accepted it? Should we now?

Sir, I think we should wear the award. However, I would make it a unit citation like the Republic of Korea Presidential unit citation or the Philippine Republic Presidential unit citation.

I like the idea of a unit citation instead of an individual award. But it also make it more similar to a campaign medal, as being simply representative of service in a particular area/theater.
