I would like to take exception to the use of airborne “jump wings” used to decorate this digitized conceptualization of dear leader.

Understand, but they aren't US Army/Air Force jump wings. They look a bit like Navy/USMC jump wings but are the wrong color.

They do however look a lot like the ones Idi Amin wore, see my Post 49 It's the whole Third World Dictator Thing. Notice the rest of the uniform looks like Amin's too.

The wings look like Cypriot Jump Wings.

For all I know, Idi Amin may have earned his when he was an LT in the British colonial forces. Probably not, he was in a Colonial African Rifles regiment after WWII. More likely he awarded himself the badge.

Just as Obama has given himself powers not delegated by the Constitution nor by laws passed by Congress.

It was a slow morning for me... I should have been a little less discerning and given props to the dictator meme that it was. AIRBORNE!
