Hitler, Saddam and Schwarzkopf busts

The Saddam is a pretty good likeness.

 Not so with Hitler and Stormin' Norman.

Nope, the Combat Infantryman's Badge is correct.  It is subdued on the BDU and DCU uniforms.  Black and green on BDUs, and black and sand on DCUs.

Oh... Ok, nice to know... I'm by far an expert with US uniforms :)

I understand the difficulties faced by your builder but really now we must change "Stormin Normans" last name to english on his uniform!

Didn't have the black and sand badges back in the DBDU days... That came later with the DCUs... ( I think General Schwarzkoff got the first set of DCUs in the theater, lol...) On the "Chocolate Chips", all the stuff on the jacket was either black metal pin-on or OD/Black embroidered.. CIB, Jump Wings, AASSLT Wings, Name and US ARMY tapes, embroidered rank... Oh, you could BUY 'em from places like the US Cavalry Store, or Brigade Quartermasters, but they weren't in the PX or Clothing sales, and damned-sure not in the supply system or Saw-OOO-dee Arabia... Well, maybe some of Paki T-shirt guys had sand-colored tapes though... They had everything else we wore on our uniforms, even had our uniforms..

I just did a quick image search and photos show Gen Schwartzkopf with both the solid black pin on badges, and the tan/black sew on badges. In both cases the tan/black US Army and name tapes. Theater commander's tend to get things even before the supply pogues.
