That's all very well, but these days 'enemy lines' are a little bit blurred. Classic definitions of FLOT etc don't really do justice to how we find the ground truth in Iraq and Afghanistan.
There is an argument put forward that you should put as many badges on as possible so that you are 'humanized' to the individuals who may be trying to/have captured you. Can't say I'm overly excited either way, or by the prospect of being caught by the Taliban, AQ or even the local village Mullah!
You're not going to compromise anyone by either wearing a badge or not wearing a badge. If you're caught everything to do with any Op is considered compromised. And if someone's holding a gun to my head, that consideration would be well placed!
So ultimately, wear your SD hat, wings on your CS95, jump wings on your shoulder or poncy Harrier flap boots. You'll look a pratt, but it won't make a jot of difference to how you're treated by the enemy.
But, if you want to be ridiculed by all your mates (and break dress regs) put your wings on your desert combats!
