Amazing how many experts there are in the world.

Where did you get the quote from?

ww..naw, I'm embarrassed to admit I was there. LOL

I thought it was cute...:munchin

I wouldn't call it a stunt but I believe Kennedy's visit was the first time the beret was worn in formation and in garrison. Until then it was only worn in the field.

The part of coming from the British Royal Commando is also true. However, I think it had to do with heritage rather than "cuteness or neato".

As with most lies, exagerations, propaganda, etc., it is based on fact.

Jackassery.

I am sure that news will come as a great surprise to General Yarborough who received the authorization and the original 1953 Green Beret designer, Herb Brucker.

The President called ahead to ASK if they were planning to wear the beret during his visit, and signed a Presidential authorization to make it happen.

What idiot posted that and where?

Just to be accurate Special Forces was chartered in 1953. JFK officially authorized it in 1961. QRQ got his in 1964.

I made a knife for an extraordinary gentleman who is retired SF. His name is William Yarborough. DO NOT piss off the knifemaker who is honored with designing the knife who bears this mans name. I concur with Reaper, that's the history I have from a very good source.
