And the insignia on the cap is the symbol of the Bundeswehr Luftwaffe, Germany\u2019s air force.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There was a Star Trek episode that stands out in my mind about a kid who wanted to mimic the life he saw on Earth. He cooked a meal with sumptuous food that he saw through his telescope, but when the crew of the Enterprise bit into the food, it had no taste, because the kid couldn&#8217;t know how the food tasted by looking at it. That&#8217;s how Congress interacts with the military &#8211; they see uniforms and they all look alike, so even a German Air Force uniform is suitable for campaign literature. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWashington is packed with politicians who love to pay lip service, to use our military veterans as props around election time,\u201d Jessie Jane Duff, a retired Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant and advisor to <a href=\"http:\/\/cv4a.org\/\">Concerned Veterans for America<\/a>, told The Daily Caller. \u201cYou would think that Rep.
