The windmills physically have small footprints, but it is the noise that drive the reindeer off.

If bad cops get promoted then winning one of those awards would probably be career suicide if they existed.

> I know. But there is also brand protection. If you can't steal a commercial brand name, I am surprised that one can take a free ride on a military medal.
Funnily enough, works of the United States government (including the military) are public domain.
Also, this would be like saying "I work for Pepsi, and I got this nifty 'best salesman of the year' badge back in '17." That's not a crime unless you're doing it to try to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit. That could mean trying to get a job based on fraudulently misrepresenting your credentials, or trying to claim some benefit (either governmental or not) offered to veterans (or Pepsi Salesmen of the Year), such as free/reduced meals at restaurants, or being stood for alcohol at a bar by someone lapping up your stories of elite Pepsi salesmanship; it could stretch as far as getting sued by someone who had sex with you, then claims that they would not have done so if they had known you were not what you were pretending to be, which would be an interesting court case.

I know. But there is also brand protection. If you can't steal a commercial brand name, I am surprised that one can take a free ride on a military medal.
Edit: it seems I am out of touch with situation given a supreme court decision in 2005.
I shake my head and shut up.

We take the right of free speech very seriously here. Perhaps too seriously; or rather, we permit it to be abused in manners that allow some "Exercising their rights of free speech" to infringe upon others free speech - or other, even-more-serious rights, like life!
But no, it's not even illegal for the cops - or anyone else - to hand out outright fraudulent purple hearts, as long as those wearing them do not fraudulently misrepresent themselves as having earned the genuine article with intent to obtain money, property, or other tangible benefit.

The windmills have already been built, so they want to tear them down.

I'm kind of surprised at the the findings in the last paragraph since in Sweden it's very common to see reindeer in the middle of big ski resorts like Åre.
In Vemdalen they even barricade the town during summer to keep the reindeer out. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0I5CTDoVjW/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
But then again we don't hunt reindeer.

That's surprising. And totally unfair to the recipients of the real medal - especially the purple heart.

But we do need to place the wind turbines where there is wind, starting with places where the return on investment is close to the best to increase the percentage of renewable energy as quickly as possible.
