    I think there's a very clear red maple leaf in the center.

    Why would the IDF use a maple leaf on their jumpwings???

    Common sense goes a long way.

    Aren't you a college student? I'm sure you have enough intelligence to grasp the word "or"...do you? Looks like all that time and money for college do you no good

    Why would you even suggest OR the IDF

    or clearly cannot come into play when the IDF has no maple leafs on their jump wings as Canada is the nation that makes use of the national symbolic emblem not the idf.

    Ok it's the Canadian Basic Para qualification badge aka jump wings. The metal ones on worn on shirts, there's a cloth version for dress tunic. The red maple leaf designates that the wearer is jump qualified but not serving in an airborne unit such as the CAR(Canadian Airborne Regiment)). The other version shown with the white maple leaf was worn by those serving/qualified in a an airborne unit ie the CAR.

    Now is that acceptable or shall we waste some more band width with infantile rants?

    I know that there use to be a Green Beret here at our school who had those same type of Canadian Airborne wings, when I asked him about them he said he got the badge from "working" with the Canadians.

    Might as well stick these here...



    All of them are Iraqi patches ('found' by my Dad during/after GW1), but whose patches are they exactly? From another forum it seems 7 and 8 are (Special) Republican Guard Mechanised Division/s patches, but as for the rest...
