Cool Uniforms, Badges, Flags etc.

[Sirotnikov]

I don't know why, but I have a thing for such cooleties.


I like cool uniforms (be they police or military), cool badges, signs and "avatars" of different military or police forces.

Flags can also be cool.


I'm too lazy to post examples right now, but I'll make the daring assumption (based on some limited research) that the IDF has some of the prettiest badges, (though usually unpretty uniforms).

Examples:

shoulder badges:
(round badges are for people who work in offices under the general staff)
("shield" badges are for field units, devisions or air/sea ports)

ground forces:
intelligence
technology and logistics
air force

infantry
field intelligence
medical
adjutantsy
erm.. the lawyer types and military court
armor
artillery
pioneering fighting youth


emblems
air force
navy
infantry (bad quality)
intelligence



pins

paratroops flying serpent badge pin
givati (former marines, now urban combat) badge pin



medical officer
military police
field intelligence
paratroopers rangers
counter guerilla commando
naval commando (seals)

sayeret matkal - general staff commando (delta)

counter terrorist paratrooper commando "cherry"

Collections of real world items like this are called "militaria". Many peope get this collecting habit - bit cooler than stamps I suppose.

Spoiler:

I give it two hours before someone put some insanely pâtriotic flag of his nation, arguing itt is the coolest flag on Earth. I'm also betting the first to enter the pissing contest will be an American.

By that alone, you've just ensured that it will NOT be what you said.

[Al B. Sure!]

just to prove Tassadar wrong (i like Spiffor a little more so i'll prove him right...)

nah you know what...

enjoy... the great red, white, and blue...

[Cruddy]

Both wrong. First contender is an American but doesn't put up his flag.

You'd almost think that was a German emblem.
