I agree with Greyhawk that it's time to reevaluate the Combat Infantryman's Badge.
UPDATE:
Oh, crap. I'm still not used to the Gazette's new format with ten billion authors. My deepest apologies to John of Argghhh! for misatributing his work. In fact, I agree with John, since he was the one who wrote this post. I also loved Grim's anecdote in the comments section:
Posted by Sarah at October 9, 2004 10:10 AMSo I showed my wife this picture you lead off with tonight, hoping to teach her about the injustice you cite.
Pointing at the three guys sweeping the area with their rifles, I said, "Dear, do these look like infantry or cavalry to you?"
"Cavalry," she said.
"Really?" I asked. "What makes you say that?"
"Well, look how short they are!" she answered.
I really need to mention this in my posts when I guest-post on Mudville - you agree with John of Argghhh! I'm not sure that Greyhawk has a dog in this fight!
