while dog tags do look cool (although im sure peopele will cringe at me for saying that as its not thier purpose) i would not purchase some ever. i think, like the beret, the bloused pants, the badges, the rank, the title, they are something which you must earn, you have to work to get them and to a degree purchasing them lowers the value of those which were legitimately obtained
If I am asked what we are fighting for, I can reply in two sentences. In the first place, to fulfil a solemn international obligation . . . an obligation of honor which no self-respecting man could possibly have repudiated. I say, secondly, we are fighting to vindicate the principle that small nationalities are not to be crushed in defiance of international good faith at the arbitrary will of a strong and overmastering Power.
