Historical uniforms are different from present day uniforms. There's no double standard, present day real in use insignia is quite a different story from historical, obselete, no longer in use insignia. It's not about a simple patch, it's about the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication it takes to earn the right wear it. It's about respect for what it symbolizes.

Also, don't try to compare airsoft to real combat, thats even more insulting to vets then wearing insignia.

Do any of you guys have any respect at all for those who sacrifice so much and are willing to fight and die for their country? If so, then why all the indignation at the thought of not wearing insignia when the vast majority of service members have said it's disrespectful and offends them when you do?

If it's just a game, as you say, why do you HAVE to wear real insignia?
Why do you need to make such a big deal out of it? Let people do what they want. Besides, trying to get your point across that its 'indignative' to wear such stuff is pretty much void. People simply won't care. We all have our own oppinions and go by them, Just leave it at that please.
