Artist....If you have earned your wings then wear them, in my opinion there is little to chose between the two units except for the colour of their hats and the competition between the the units.
As a young just out of the box bootneck I was a typical arrogant pillock. Over the years I sussed out that though people did different jobs they all did them well. One of my Oppos here in Cheshire is Ex Para. Don't see him so much as I did due to him divorcing his missus.
But once a year on Remembrance Sunday you will see the pair of us stood there together. Red and Green but both with tears in our eyes as we remember our fellow less fortunate comrades who didnt come back. Much later on you will see both of us in a Pub heaving neat shit at each other and some times scareing people who think we are about to have a punch up!
One year this young bloke decided to try and join in with our conversation.......Silly Boy! He got told in short order to go away and play with himself.

I dont wear them though as my divers badge has grown and theres no space on my yfronts
