I don't have to explain it. It looks like I'm talking with a kid. If you have never been to army and think what a war is something like a parade or fireworks video of airstrikes on CNN, you know nothing. We are on real different levels. Please ask
Rochard, he is also American, but as far as I know, he has been to army and he can explain you something what I was not able to. I really don't want to discuss it because it's really not even funny. It's a fuckin' war - dirty, ugly and merciless. There are no rules but your mission and your own life. Nothing else matters.
P.S. The soldiers usually cover even their faces, not mention their rank or country-identify insignia. The same applies to tanks, jet fighters etc. There must be no symbols that will allow your enemy to easily identify it. This is was camouflage and stealth technology were invented for: to make your enemy confused as much as possible. Only a naive kid may think that the modern war may look like this:
No, it's not about waving of flags and measuring whose uniform looks better.
