[Ansteorra-archery] Greetings....I need some help from someone in the Military

[Eadric Anstapa]

I am with Karl.  I think is is somewhat disrespectful to wear a badge 
worn by special forces officers, and intended for special forces 
officers, unless you have been a special forces officer.

To me its kinda like if you went around wearing a White Bracer on your 
arm and you weren't a member of the Order.  I would be annoyed at 
someone who did that.

Or better yet, if you decided to wear a Red Bracer, a Red Belt, and a 
Red Scarf.   Those items aren't "official" or protected by our kingdom 
law.  We simply customarily use them to mean something that is very 
special to those that wear them.  We honor those people who very 
carefully consider who they will give those customary insignia to by 
keeping to those customs and traditions and allowing them to remain 
special.  Why not honor those who have served our country in the special 
forces similarly?

Regards,

-EA
