Also, any anons know the significance of the pikachu patch? Can't find any info on it. But this looks very intentional: to show us the patches at the end - the AA one looks like it's not even properly affixed, just put in place temporarily (maybe just for this video?) Very weird imo. Thoughts?
I didn't see the 82nd airborne insignia. what I did see was not.
Why do you say that? Did you see the end of the video?
It looks to me to be this exact patch here: https://hahnsurvival.com/products/the-supply-room-patch-0082-airborne-division-scorpion-tsr-p-0082a-s
You're right. I was looking at his shoulder and the patch was difficult to find because the time ticker was obscuring it. He may be part of the militia group, who really don't have a uniform just wear what they want.
That's unquestionably an 82ABN patch.
