in light of the new paradigm

[FoBoT]

if the flood gates ever open on more avatars, I request something for the US military branches for those of us that are veterans or current service members

thanks for your consideration

paradigm shift. He was just abbreviating.

About the OP, I don't think it's such a good idea. People will use the avatars when they aren't actually associated with the branches; people will get offended; people will get flamed. People will wonder why the Canadian armed forces are represented. Then the Mexican ones. Etcetera.

Good intent, though.

There already is a USMC look alike avatar. Wont catch this guy changing to it though. I still dont get why we cant make custom avatars. Welcome to the internet, circa 1995, custom avatars ftw!
