Airsoft is a game, if you dont like the use of insignia then dont use it, get over it and keep comments to yourself.
So long as you are not telling people you are actually in "X" unit etc. thats different.

Read before you speak. Reenacting/living history is different. I don't use ww2 stuff in airsoft, I use it for living history events.
Historical uniforms are different from present day uniforms. There's no double standard, present day real in use insignia is quite a different story from historical, obselete, no longer in use insignia. It's not about a simple patch, it's about the hard work, sacrifice, and dedication it takes to earn the right wear it. It's about respect for what it symbolizes.
Also, don't try to compare airsoft to real combat, thats even more insulting to vets then wearing insignia.
Do any of you guys have any respect at all for those who sacrifice so much and are willing to fight and die for their country? If so, then why all the indignation at the thought of not wearing insignia when the vast majority of service members have said it's disrespectful and offends them when you do?
If it's just a game, as you say, why do you HAVE to wear real insignia?
