Why ppl keep associating The Federation with The US Army?
Oh.... let me guess....
Oh.... let me guess....
Because he's a goddamn colonel and so can wear whatever he wants? Unless a superior officer turns up, distracts him from his important work on FSD technology and demand he alters his uniform, he's in charge of his own little base.
Because she's not really a general. She's a noob who doesn't know the military traditions.
i assume same reason hitler wore his corporals uniform lol.
Because she's not a real colonel, they wear white suites, have beards and sell chicken.
Donkey Walloper!? That made me laugh! You mean like one of them folk that gads about on horses for the Queen? Like James Blunt used to?
Because she spent the night at The Beach, had to get dressed in a hurry, and grabbed the wrong uniform.

= UGH! The children!
Because ranks have been redone? and aren't equivalent to our current ones? has happened in our known time last I checked. So yeah.
Old jacket?
That reminds me of a fun little episode I had while in the UN Service. I was a corporal, but still carried my basic single stripe on each shoulder since the rank was only while I was on tour. Being a driver than and having dropped a colonel off at the UN HQ in Zagreb, I was loafing about waiting for his meetings to be over so we could go back to base. While waiting, I was approached by a group of Jordanian officers who politely invited me for tea. I said yes, please and we went to their office and had delicious sweet tea while discussing aspects of life in a war zone in different thick dialects of faltering English.
I slowly came to realise that they thought I was an officer. Apparently, a single stripe indicates lieutenant in the Jordanian army. At the time, I wasn't about to correct the misunderstanding...

Not to nitpick but the bottom pic is a US Army Command Sergeant Major
That not a SSG....
That a pic of ( a really unattractive ) Sgt Major. Maybe even a Command Sgt Maj. Pretty sure its a command.
Yes, the "informal" name for the Household Cavalry, as opposed to Tops, 6 foot, Wooden who are the Guards Regiments. Not to be confused with grunts, planks, trogs, wedgeheads, bleeps, green slime, monkeys etc etc.
