Australian veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

We have separate articles for the Australian involvement in Afghanistan (Operation Slipper) and Iraq (Australian contribution to the 2003 invasion of Iraq) as well as the campaign medals awarded for these two separate wars (Afghanistan Medal (Australia) and Iraq Medal (Australia)), so an article which combines veterans of both wars and the different campaign medals they're entitled to seems unnecessary and awkward.

Delete As nominator points out, there is room in the other articles to include information about the individual service medals and notable veterans, which seems to be the purpose of this article. Mandsford (talk) 16:13, 12 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think a title can be redirected to two places. Mandsford (talk) 00:48, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
