Doesn' this just encourage Walter Mittys to say they are ex Para etc when they can produce their wings or other insignia. I'm shocked, has this always been available.

My mate struts around in his WW2 Para beret at CADETS and wonders why he gets beasted to hell and back. Idiot

There is a large market for this type of stuff. Those that like to have there sas badge handy in there wallet to flash or those who take a geniune interest in units and dress up(maybe a better word out there :D ) and play soldiers for members of the public.

if you dont earn it its worth f@#k all ! -as my mate was told when he went down lympstone for POC... you can buy a green lid from the shop here but you wont have earned it.....personally i'm looking forward to earning my maroon lid.....

That reminds me actaully , some bloke was strutting around in a gay bar (stupid girlfreind made me go in grrrrr) in halifax dressed in dpm's, para dress belt and para t-shirt........ the phrase tosser sprang to mind, but who knows he might actually have earned them !!!!!!
