I had a silly thought about this recently and I wish that if I'm going to a costume party, I'll be dressed as either:

Waffen SS or Wehrmacht officer:

(O.K., so I've been playing Medal of Honor: Allied Assault recently.)

Chinese army/paramilitary police officer:

For those of you that don't know me, I admire the finesse of Nazi German and Chinese military uniforms.

==========================================================

For all you goddamn subhuman nudists out there, your birthday suit is not a costume and you cannot iron out the wrinkles!

personally, i find those shorts hilarious. kid across the hall actually dresses like that, with the high socks and shorts. it's a great deal more satisfying in person.

if I were to go to a costume party I would dress like a greek person in a toga.

after all you just can't beat the toga.

Those are bandaged legs. They were common in WWI Europe as well.

Well, son. This ain't a thread about 'Josh'! If you've got nothing productive to contribute here, just shove off.

The pre-Nazi Germans sold vast amounts of military equipment to KMT China.

Then why don't you make a relevant post here or fuck (http://www.funnyjunk.com/pages/history.htm) off!

Hey Sino, Unified Sith here, annoyed at how the forums are still down, but its April fools today so feel free to pull pranks now!

Then you should check out that prank I pulled on the RWI forums, sir!

For those of you who want to hear my opinion, I thought it was funny when Prince Harry went to that costume party wearing a Wehrmacht shirt and a Swastika armband. He would have gotten no flak if it was just Wehrmacht shirt.

Thanks Sino, I did know that the Chinese copied the Mauser 7.62mm pistol shown in this picture (http://www.swallow.com.tw/military/images/chinese/c008.gif). I always learn something new everytime I come here.

fair enough. do you own any of those uniforms already? if yes, are you an airsofter, or perhaps a reenactor?

They're working fine over here, sir.

I don't know if the pistols were copied. But the rifles were.

Pity I don't. Those things cost a small fortune. I used to be a (high school) Cadet before I began university. I had a full set of NZ Army DPMs (BDUs) and limited pieces of service uniforms. I was the Best Presented Cadet for the last two consecutive years.

As for actual uniforms when I am part of that corps, I treat them very seriously as they are not costumes.

As for reenacting, I don't think the scenes of PLA shooting students at Tiananmen would be very hard. LOL!

BUMP

April Fools is meant to be the silly season, so lighten up, folks!

you know you can get the german square pattern BDUs for, like, 40-50 bucks, right?

I rather save that money. There's plenty of cheap military surplus in China (if I get a chance to go back).

BUMP

Can't you folks take a break from debating creationism and Terry Schiavo?
