I personally don´t give a **** about salads.

CIB, Ranger tab, combat diver(trident) or combat medic get my attention.
That shows me they are good at what they do, and they have the intestinal fortitude to fight to get there.
Don´t get me wrong though, I have nothing but respect for ANYONE serving his/her country in any capacity wheather it be as a cook or aviator.

However, when working with other nations forces I instinctively "read their chest" to figure out if we have been working at the same place before ie:Campaign medals and such.
I find it to be a good opening to conversation when we have worked in the same mud/sand/hills/jungle.
