Instate an act similar to America's Stolen Valor Act of 2005
Online there are hundreds of people posing as soldiers that have received medals (such as the George cross)for their "service". When in fact they are a fantasist. These people lower the value of bravery for our service men and women who have done extraordinary acts to warrant such a medal.
There is one such group known as The Walter Mitty Hunters Club which find such people who falsely claimed to have won medals and have found a staggering amount of people who claim to have served.
