IIRC, the first SF soldiers wore green berets as a stunt to get JFK's attention on a visit to Fort Bragg. They picked green berets because they thought the Royal Marines looked cool. No-one was more surprised than they when Kennedy made it their trademark.
Good to know I spent almost two years working my butt off to earn a "stunt" that looked cool.

This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.

Still want to quit?
