We Don't Wear the Poppy!

It looks like the DNC has attempted to emulate Reuters. A photo has surfaced on their website of a supposed US Army soldier. In reality, looking at the uniform gives away the fact that this is not in any way a US Soldier. The US military does not wear the Poppy (red flower on the lapel). That is a tradition of the British and Canadian armies relating back to Flanders Field in World War I. I have some Canadian buddies at work, I wonder how they would feel about this:)

Here is the story from Michelle Malkin
Here is some history on the Poppy
