Military Vehicle Poll
1. If you for it
2. if your not

Ive painted my jeep desert tan and i was thinking about adding stars and numbers. I support our troops all the way but have never been in the military.
would this be wrong?
How many people agree or disagree with people painting thier rigs to look like military vehicles?

I dont see any reason you need to serve in the military to make your jeep look militaristic. I dont see a parallel.

Jeeps were in the military way before any of our active troops.

Even if you aren't military, your Jeep's heritage is.

8 years active time (still at it too) and I don't see any disrespect. In fact, I think it would be pretty rad.

BTW - PICTURES when you are done!!!

I got 6 years in (Navy) and I don't think anybody I've ever met would be offended. Go for it.

There will always be stupid people, we can thin the gene pool all we want and we'll still have plenty of candidates.
