Re: Camo Beret in use

Of course it is, but does it justify Airborne border guards which were supposedly non-existing? :)

Read both threads carefully. DShMG = AIR ASSAULT, or guys that move around the battlefield in helicopters. VDV = AIRBORNE or paratroopers with parachutes.

To cloud the issue, both use the original VDV parachute insignia.

Ah I see, sorry about that, how embarassing!
I didn't really know there was much of a difference, I didn't even know there was air assault boys!
