yes i too liked the green beret... ah well, maybe we'll have a little patch behind the badge or something? single force concept however would at best suggest same for all where possible."He is an enemy officer taken in battle and entitled to fair treatment."
"No, sir. He's a sergeant, and they don't deserve no respect at all, sir. I should know. They're cunning and artful, if they're any good. I wouldn't mind if he was an officer, sir. But sergeants are clever."

If the black beret thing is true, I can 100% live with it.
I merely ask one thing, please make the troops earn their beret's. I know it's not an Army wide thing but in the old Eastern Bde, Units had a great tradition of not issuing Recruits their black beret's until they became 2 Star Pte's. You'd see people around the barracks in their beret's while you wore a bush hat and it killed you, it was something you wanted.
By all means issue the RDF black berets but make them earn them.*
*Obviously wouldnt apply to lads who are already 3 Star Private's and above. They've done everything the DF asked of them to make the grade.

Will L3 be changed? Cause otherwise they won't be issued and they can be taken off you
Will they get rid of the green patch on the red beret if the rest go black with red?

Jeez there's some lads getting their shite in a twist over the thought of this on the DF members and ex members page. I don't really know what to think about it really...I'd back Fridge's post about having to earn it.I knew a simple soldier boy.....
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
And no one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
