Parents Get Surprise Visit From Army Son. It all took place at a Boston Bruins game, during a ceremonial puck drop. I think I just got something in my eye.

I know Bob. Sheesh, if the US military is this fractionated that we're having long-time valued users leaving over getting the branch of military wrong... I don`t know what to say.

Hell, Bob even changed the post title, just for you, after your explosive rant.
To be fair davy, I did deliberately change it to a different wrong caption. The intention being a little tongue-in-cheek humour. But it seems these military types can't take a joke.
I don`t even know what the varying uniforms of the armed services of my OWN country look like, never mind a different one.
To be so deeply offended by the thought of being mistaken for a member of a different branch of the military seems pretty pathetic and childish to me. I would have hoped that military service instils a degree of maturity which would elevate you above such puerile concerns, but it seems I am wrong about that.
Which branch this guy serves in is utterly irrelevant to the point of the video, but if you`re going to complain this much about it I`ll change the caption to read Army.

Also, can't speak for others, but in case there`s any doubt as to how much we respect our military, here`s my Bookface status for Remembrance Day (I hardly ever post), copy-pasta`d:
"Remembering my auld beloved Granda on this day - fought as a gunner on the Royal Navy Battleship "HMS Revenge" during the Battle of the Atlantic (1939-1945), after lying about his age to get into the British Navy to fight the good fight. Manys the great nights we had regaling over old war stories, with me as a kid misty-eyed and slack-jawed and him smoking thoughtfully on his pipe. Miss you, love you and respect you always Granda."
Do I know what his uniform looked like? Can`t say that I do, and that was my own (British) armed forces.
