28 Dec 2021 Bm59 Picture of the Day

[Sarge1998]

I had to ask since you should know.

[Ovidio]

Almost. In the past, until the sixties/seventies, they always used the Alpini hat. Then, someday, they introduced the “Norwegian”, which is more comfortable, but by no means as iconic and beautiful.
Now, when we go out together as a group, my friends and I always wear our Alpini hat.

The Alpine are well trained soldiers with a solid history for courage and combat. Soldiers can always be brothers with soldiers of another country. Politics however always intervene.

Here’s a good picture. Taken from the Net. Again, around my time I would say…

Soldiers can always be brothers with soldiers of another country.

Yep. That's why I liked the song "Universal Soldier." Buffy Saint Marie thought it was a protest song against the war in Nam, but I heard it as a hymn to all Infantry.

Thanks Ovidio
