Does anyone else look for the correct placement of ribbons, medals, badges, etc. in military movies? I do, it's usually the first thing I notice. Alot of times I get caught up in looking for these things, and lose track of the movie. And, if things are out of place, it aggrivates the hell outta me. You too?

It pisses me off that a Beret hasn't been worn correctly in a movie since John Wayne put one on.

Same, always end up not paying attention to the movie bc I'm trying to figure out why his ranger tab is on his right sleeve or stuff like that...

If that pisses you off you better not walk around an Army base these days for more than 5 minutes. The variations are astounding. I bet you were that guy with his super hardcore beret where the flash sticks out straight from your forehead and the overall beret is 3 sizes too big and you cannot even see out of your right eye.

what's more glaringly obvious is the out of regs haircuts. Even someone with no military background will note that a military man should not have his coif wafting in the breeze...

Brah I don't wear that shite, if you can't afford ASU's you should have your commission stripped.

And they are being completely phased out NLT 31Dec13
