I was wondering whether or not a peace-symbol is indeed a graphic on the USMC Support Class character - anybody confirm this?  Maybe I am seeing it incorrectly.

Peace sign? I doubt it. If you're referring to the dropped suport packs, well that's meant to be a gun on a tripod. Maybe it's the same symbol that you're mistaking for a peace sign, I can sort of see how they are similar.

Yeah - the backpack.  If it is...why would they put it in a game like this?  Some sort of protest against violence using a violent game as the medium?  I'll post a pic (through x-fire, too lazy...stupid to do it on the other uploading sites)

It is a peace sign.  Think of it as an homage to the Vietnam days when many of the soldier would put similar patches on their packs etc.

Yes, exactly.  You'd know what it means if you've watched Full Metal Jacket

If it were patches that were put - why put something so ideological as a peace-symbol?  (For the game)  If anything, I'd rather it be  customizable than to have it cemented as a peace-symbol.  I've seen FMJ.

Is it so wrong to put a little homage to an awesome movie into a war game?

I know that if tomorrow I were sent to the Middle-East to fight, I would sure as hell stick a peace symbol on my backpack

I haven't seen Full Metal Jacket, but I always looked at it as... They're fighting for peace.

Hm...even though - isn't it forcing a viewpoint onto us (I won't say where I stand on the issue; just a simple question). Shouldn't it be as apolitical as possible?
