At this point, I think the thread is digressing into inter service rivalry. Come now, not everyone can be a Marine; the rest of you don't have to be jealous!

I thank everyone for their opinions, those for and those against. But I will go with the words from the Royal Marines that were querried, and wear the beret with the badge. After all, they are the lads that saw fit to honour me with being an honourary Royal Marine. I end this thread by saying Thank You to all of the veterans and service members who have answered the call, and that goes for every nation represented on this forum. Keep your heads up, your backs straight, and your rifle clean.
