I don't see anyone saying people shoulden't wear uniforms, not on this forum or others, etc. Anyone can wear a uniform, not like you have to really do anything to earn one, just sign on the dotted line an show up to basic an you get a uniform. But all the badges, unit insignia and rank people have to earn.
If a person is wearing badges, etc that they haven't earned I can say something about it. As for assualting someone because they are wearing it, well I woulden't go that far since jail doesn't sound like a fun place. But people have gotten badges an t-shirts taken from them by people who earned them.
As for making my own field, yea.. not a realistic option. I will continue to play at any airsoft field in my area.
I think Cyclic explained this issue the best.

Bottom line.. wear what you want, but always keep in mind that those that earned the ability to wear such things might not look kindly on those that didn't. And don't be suprised if they are in your face because of it. If you're not prepared to face the person that you're trying to immitate, you should keep your gucci-kit at home.
Most vets are very sensitive about the display of battle honors, regimental insignias and such. A lot of people had to go through a lot of shit to EARN THE RIGHT to display their accomplishments proudly on their person. My view, and the view of most in my position is that if you didnt earn it, it is not yours. And if by trying to impress some friends you choose to display those insignias someone may take it back....
