And I think your way of looking to that is disrespect! And I dont care about your experience now, afther you did a military (basic) training/course to earn a beret and know what it is to work for it and pay it with blood sweat and tears. Than we can talk. I dont have a beret, I didn't do any training jet to earn the one I want sinds I was 13 years old. But I'm going to, and till the moment a corporal or sergeant gives me the beret and the order will be given to put it on. And that is HONOR, and RESPECT! And nacho-libre. I think we are on one line, and as i read in your post your a men with respect and understandment of the meaning of the insignia/patch/etc. I only want to say that the beret, with or without insignia also hase a meaning. The red beret is for para's and airmobile, green for commando's. And a whole lot of other colors for other units. And those colors have a high vallue for those men. |

Thing is, as mentioned before, this is an airsoft topic, and it clearly winds you up... Maybe you should rather steer clear of the topic? Just a thought. |

This is getting annoying, I think it is time for all of us to shut up. Whoever was walting, or posted walting photos should be reported to the mods. That is what HOLLiS said, so perhaps we should follow it to get whatever that is offensive removed.
I am a service member, I play airsoft. But I never pretend to be something I can't be. (Especially due to my gender, I obviously can't be SAS, SEAL, SF... etc etc) We have a major rule in the AS association of our state. If you haven't earned it, you can't wear it. If you are wearing insignia, you are asked to show credentials pretty much. If you are no longer serving, you can still wear the stuff that you have earned. It works very well for us, but our neighboring state is dumb and doesn't have a rule like that, so nearly 50%+ airsofters there are running around in rank they haven't earned. |

@ dwight
1. Thanks for the kind words, that makes me think a bit other bout you 2. I served in the german forces and i do know what its meant to work for your ranks and stuff. Also my civil job is a job where you have to work hard for gettin your active status. But im now 28 and i see a lot of things quit trough other eyes. One thing is that honor and pride doesnt feed your kids and never return your life if its off. Shure, there will be people that think about you and your duty to the nation. But when it comes to **** they leave you alone even faster then you can say bullsh.t. Good example is the vietnam war i guess. Whatever rank you had worn, or which kind of medal you have earned, a lot of people gave a f..k about it. And the nation dont bother if you got crippled while savin a comrad under fire. I see people dyin every ****in day trying to get them back a life and most of the time i cant do anything for them. But the people dont give a f..k for my work. There not interessted in it. Maybe it is another thing in the USA or other countrys where Paramedics/Firefigthers and Soldiers got another social status. But in germany your only the walt who is drivin around in a ambulance. Tragicaly i lost my good opinion of words like "servin for the country" and stuff. But i got lots of love for my comrades out there whereever they are. Also the politicians make me feel sick. They do nothing for there "heros". Only fast waste of cannon fodder. Anyways, i fully respect your opinion at all and i hope you will go your way. Greetz |

Once again people...this is a black and white issue on this forum.
Do not, under any circumstances, post pictures of yourself wearing rank or badges that you have not earned. Period. Full stop. Do not argue about your motivations, your reasons, or your lack of fitness for the actual units in the armed forces you try so hard to emulate. You're not one of them. If you actually served, you should know better and police your own. No one is entitled to respect for having the money to buy better gear than men in harms way. No one cares about you honoring someone or making your loadout authentic or any of that pretend bullsh*t. Play your game, conduct yourself accordingly, do not walt on here, or anywhere else, if you have any sense of decency. So stop. |

For once, I have to agree with CJ. It is against the rules, so regardless of why you're doing it, don't.
And really, how can you claim to be doing it to honor soldiers/sailors/airmen/Marines, and then sit here and argue with several active-duty/or current soldiers/sailors/airmen/Marines over it. I don't see any respect or honor in your arguments. |

Hey instead of writting **** for hours, why dont you report the photo and thats it?
if its posing he will get the boot. and chill out, you are going to get a heart attack. If you get so upset, dont even bother going to an AS Forum, you are going to get a stroke. keep it simple, report bad pictures and thats it. the last two months this is the bitching threads, its started on the marines, then moved to Seals and now here... Honestly guys, you are not even british army forces complaining since you are the same 4 guys screamming on every photo. Last edited by ShooterMclein; 11-05-2009 at 09:14 PM. |
