In reading this entire thread one has to remember that this is an airsoft forum. Everyone is here because of a common shared interest in airsoft and perhaps all things airsoft related. This includes impressions of military units throughout the world. I think that impressionism is a great form of flattery especially if a great amount of research is done to make a individual knowledgable on the subject of impression at hand.

Having said this, I have served a great number of years in the military myself, travelled the world, worked with many dedicated professionals some of which have died in armed confict. I respect all military individuals to the highest degree, and if I can show some degree of respect to these individuals through portrayal of their units through airsoft impressionism then so I will. Also, because of my service in the Military, does this make me any different then those airsoft impressionists who have not served? I feel as long as these people are not trying to be something they are not, then I have no problem with it.

Just my two cents.
