I agree that to me is an awful design. I also agree that I would much rather see a lion or maybe a Red Dragon as the British symbol than an eagle, save those that Luke mentioned - and they were definitely earned!
Other armies' that have used eagles are Germany, Austria and Russia both with double headed eagles, and I am sure there are more.
Andy, if that's true about the SAS requirements then the new Rangers are going to be starting off in the red is sounds to me. I have to stand with the SAS - you don't lower the standards so people can pass or lese you are always going to be realizing the lowest common denominator. Which would you rather have protecting your country!
