    Chinese "Civil Soldier" aka "Civil Defence" mark. Correctly viewed with the rifle held vertically. I don't know if that would be Taiwan/Nationalist or PRC/PLA marking. Viet Nam bring-back?

    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
