152. I also noticed the fold on Macbeth's beret is wrong...
...all rangers (and regular army) begin the fold on the beret near the top of the badge/crest patch. Macbeth's beret has a fold that begins near the bottom.

I've read about the beret and how seriously Army Rangers take wearing it. It is a matter of serious pride and history and honor. There is simply no way he'd wear the beret that way in a photo.

I've heard others mention minor details like the way his sleeves are rolled up is wrong. The Army T-shirt that is issued is brown, not black. I've read that his badge/patch is completely wrong - that there is no branch of Army Rangers that has a yellow patch.

But, wearing the beret wrong is enough for me. This guy is a fraud - my only question now is why?

Who is Jessie Macbeth?
