The patch is the only reason I took the picture

Here is some background for those unfamiliar with the history:

WWII US FSSF (First Special Service Force) Uniform Group

The Devil's Brigade (also called The Black Devils and The Black Devils' Brigade and Freddie's Freighters, officially the 1st Special Service Force), was a joint World War II American-Canadian commando unit organized in 1942 and trained at Fort William Henry Harrison near Helena, Montana in the United States. The brigade fought in the Aleutian Islands, Italy, and southern France before being disbanded in December 1944. The modern American and Canadian special operations forces trace their heritage to this unit.

"Before officially choosing the First Special Service Force as their name, the unit was unofficially known as the Braves. Their spearhead shoulder insignia was chosen with this name in mind. The formation patch was a red spearhead with the words USA written horizontally and CANADA written vertically."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Brigade

You can see SOF units rocking it/paying homage these days, for example:

Correction, US Army Special Forces and Canadian Special Operations Regiment share roots with FSSF. Other units trace back to other units, ie Rangers with Rogers Rangers, etc

Before CSOR, the Canadian Airborne Regiment traced back to FSSF, as well as the 1st and 2nd Canadian Parachute Battalions.

There are some cool stories about those guys.

I heard they would play mind-games with the Germans:
Sneak into enemy lines, knife everyone but the lookouts/those on watch. Then they would leave their patch with a German translation "You're Next". Would do some wild things to the survivors.

Then again my facts are ~11th hand. So who knows.

You do know how the "mag rubbers" came into being right?
Tape mag pulls have been around for ages. They work, no need to spend a fortune getting one for each of your mags.

Permal finally got a decent radio headset. Gone are the days of him running around with a mutilated xbox headset.

And on the trail of the Devil's Brigade, the movie pretty good, too.
