Are there any plans for a military badge site?

Manta

Does anyone know who manufactures the insignia of the Mexican military?

Manta

yep.. old new.. all already in effect. Look for the new USCG ODUs that are just starting to be implemented.

There are only two real issues here. 1. Someone wants credit for their creativity. 2. The insignia in question are NOT copywritable. I have notthing to do with the administration of the site, so I have no involvement on how #1 should be dealt with. I really don't care, because, like many people here...

sigh.. 1. He wanted kudos for being a midshipman even though that is pretty meaningless since he's not going to a military academy. 2. I did not take or use anything. 3. Your grasp of copywrite and intellectual property laws is not that wonderful. It sounds like you just let a bunch kids put fear in...

lol, they weren't directed at anyone as much as a culture. But since you guys took offense to them, I guess I hit the nail on the head.

And as for you midshipman, I'm an O-3, so calm down.

Hi Steve, Thanks for posting, I think your feelings are reasonable and I hope you get your credit if it is important to you. Most of us contribute without taking credit for our work or research, but that's fine. As for you Trekkies.. thanks for your help, but can't you find something more constructi...

I love CSAR.. the PJ's now have their own unit separate from the helicopter pilots and ground support.

Um, no, they are not in violation. Your notice is neither legal nor valid. You should also learn to spell.

finally added a scan to my site!

yep, this further strengthen's my belief that FDR was a putz.

Manta

Ok, I'd like to add Prussia to the list!

Manta

I thought corporal punishment was prevelent in Singapore.. heck you guys caned Michael Faye for being stupid.

Manta

I cant belive they take that abuse, lol, cant they shoot them (I think US MP's are allowed to use all means necessary to bring somebody in)? Remember, Israeli soldiers carry their weapons with them at all times. Even on the bus ride home. While the MP MIGHT have a Sig or a 1911, the soldier he is t...

well it's usually an MP versus a seasoned fighter.. so the MP usually gets knocked on his butt and the soldier escapes.

Manta

the US is softer than it used to be... the last time I heard of a soldier being it was two years ago at Fort Bragg. A trainee pulled the pin on a live granade during practice BEFORE it was his turn and the instructor grabbed the granade and threw it on the range before any of the other recruits coul...

yes, they really do. That hat is called a "Campaign Hat" aka "Stetson".
