Guest IMHF Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 I have been asked many times why Iraq’s insignia has other countries designs and Esprit de corps. If you look at Iraq’s military history, they always were motivated by the western side of the world. It all started with England giving Iraq their Independence in 1918 to the U.S. after the Invasion in 2003. As U.S. and Coalition forces work alongside with training and missions with Iraqi Units you can see changes in the styles of Uniforms and Insignia. Being a part of something adds to the history to that unit. During WWI and WWII U.S. Units added designs from other foreign Units to their Insignia to show recognition of building and the unit Esprit de corps success of working together side by side to establish that unit for combat. I would like to hear your insight of what and why you feel this is happening so please feel free to post away. Thank you Lorenzo
