Jacko shaming the badge

MICHAEL Jackson was blasted by British Army veterans last night for wearing military badges while on trial for child abuse.

The 46-year-old singer has appeared virtually every day with either an Army motif on his breast pocket or a cap badge tied around his neck.

They have included symbols from the Royal Engineers, the Welch Regiment, the Sherwood Foresters, the Wiltshire and Cheshire Regiments, the Royal Corps of Transport and the Royal Warwickshire Regiment.

One was the distinctive motif of an antelope sewn into a black frock coat. The Warwickshires adopted the animal as their symbol in the 18th century.

The badges can be bought from military dealers for as little as £4.

Des Mawby, 73, who served for ten years with the Warwickshires, said: “I’m disgusted. It is totally inappropriate. He is not entitled to wear it and it is wrong that something that means so much to so many brave men should be used as a fashion statement.

“It is an emblem that belongs solely to our regiment.”

Regimental secretary, Major Richard Mills, 58, who has been flooded with calls from outraged soldiers, said: “It shows immaturity that Michael Jackson wears this without thinking what it means to our men. It devalues it.”

Jackson denies charges of child molestation, administering an intoxicating agent, conspiracy involving child abduction, false imprisonment and extortion.

The case resumes today.

my boss told me a good joke today:

Last Friday MJ didn't show up to court....
Judge: Why isn't the defendent in court today?
MJ's Lawyer: he's feeling poorly today                              (for the slow ppl POOR-LEE)
Judge: oh god, this Lee isn't going to press charges as well is he?

anyway i heard the real reason he wasn't in court that day is now hes broke he had to go into the recording studio to make some more money like R Kelly does so hes recorded a new single called 'don't let your son go down on me'.

its not a dumb thread if you understand what it takes to have one of those badges..


...its like wearing the back badge it only comes with honour and service....people died for those symbols thats why the various infantry etc wear them nowadays....to remind them of their forefathers achievement and honour and to act themselves with honour


mj was by doing it claiming something he is not....

for anyone currently serving and of families of people who have fought / lost lives its a bitter pill


thats why it matters....not to us but to them
