I'm sorry, did I upset you? I didn't mean anything personal about it and you're right, it's a free country so don't let my opinion stop you from dressing how you like.

Exactly Mate, - just as wanky looking as those "heavy Dudes" who wear those skull face masks under their open face helmets.....

The German helmets always looked cooler than Yank or British.

Reminds me of that game Red Alert, the soviets have the cooler names but crappier weapons. Hmm come to think of it I might just go find it and play it now.
