THS:
I'm aware that the maroon lid as with the "rampant" Pegasus on a maroon background is the official insignia of British Airborne Forces which also included the Glider Squadrons. Having been in the USA since 1988 I've been a bit out of touch with things in the Army though.
It's a shame they just throw them around now... Another example of the lowering of standards to accommodate the utter failings of the political leaders...
