Wow, that thing is hideous! It looks like the person just threw a hodgepodge of crap on there to make it look more colorful.

It mixes rank, different services, and different wars. None of it matches at all.

It's obviously a cheap ploy to get more money.

HAHAHAHAHAH the jacket left alone, would have been better than muckin' it up with all the extra "stuff" on it. As a retired Armed Forces Service member, I have to hang my head......morons......we are surrounded........by morons.
amazing

Nope, nothing wrong.

See this is Radar O'Reilly's uniform. He was a "Corporal Capitan" in one episode where Hawkeye made him go into the Officers Club. This is just the end of his career uniform.

LOL!

Is that the Blue Max and the Croix de Guerre on there too?

Well, it would be a nice jacket WITHOUT all the medals on it... the 9th AF patch, rank and service stripes and "Ruptured Duck" are probably original to the jacket, then some know-nothing jagoff hung the rest of the fruit salad on it. My guess? They are looking for a way to unload some excess inventory on a smaller-than-normal (34S) jacket. :)

I've looked at more than my share of WWII Class A jackets over the past year, trying to get a deal on one in a "human" size (i.e. 40 to 42 regular or long), so I've come to recognize some of these trends. Funny find, though... I like the new rank "Sergeant Colonel". Might have to get business cards with that printed on them, LOL.

They might as well throw on a highly illegal Medal of Honor while they're at it! :D
