Gentlemen, I CERTAINLY agree with your feelings in general. I also served my country in uniform ( "60 - 65" - ABN & SF ) BUT, IMHO opinion, there are 2 exceptions.
1. Wearing the "uniform" badges etc of a unit in the presentation of your persona as a historical re-en actor or presenter ( I wear the "generic Rifleman's badge as a part of my uniform ( capt. -Canadian Rifle (Militia) unit.in the "War of 1812" ( kilted)
2. Wearing a unit's badge because of ancestral heritage or to pay honor or recognition to these fine units.. Although I will not be wearing these ( they are for my collection) if someone did & made it clear as to why, I personally would have no problem. ( I do have a "connection to all but one of these)
3. I posted these because I thought there may be some who would be interested because of the above.
