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.

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!

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
