For all you military guys i have what may be a silly question but im an outsider so i dont know any better. I have seen soldiers in theirs ACUs that had the big shoulder rank from the ASU on their sleeve. What is the purpose of this? is it to make that person more easily identified during training (like as an instructor) or are they in a leadership role, or...? Silly question number 2 why do special operations guys always have a big full color flag on their plate carrier? Is that regs or is it just like "America eff yeah!"? Again maybe stupid questions but these are the things that keep me up at night
