Out of curiosity, does that opinion extend to any crossed arrow emblem
(say one hand-cast by an artisan), or just the ones sold by the US
Army? Could you tell the difference?
Just to make sure there is no confusion. I in no way support the idea
of representing one's self with honors you haven't earned or in any way
disrespecting the honorable service of those in uniform. I just believe
that crossed arrows are generic enough to mean different things in
different settings.
Thanks,
Donnchadh
