No really, they weren't.

But one German TV station seems to think so.

    This, Tribbles and Gentlemen, is why the Picard Facepalm was invented.

    LOL.

    That is absolutely hilarious. I love watching reporters stumble when reporting on the military. I don't even watch local stories on the military. The more local you get the more likely you are to see a service member professionally answering moronic questions or see the reporter stumble over basic terminology. Although if the reporters in Germany I suppose they've got some excuse. On the other hand, it takes two seconds to look it up on Wiki or google and the actual logo will come up.

    Maybe someone thought that it couldn't possibly be that easy and searched longer for it on Google Image Search, ignoring the first pages.

    I am thinking more and more...that this is intentional.

    Because googling SEAL Team VI or SEAL Team 6...does not result in anything but the official logo/patches....

    BUT...if you google Maquis or Star Trek SEAL Team 6...you get the Maquis badge....so this tells me someone did it on purpose.

    the Marquis? I don't think any European noblemen of hereditary rank were involved.
    Oh you mean Maquis? :D

    Awesome! Someone should send him an email telling him that the official name of the Seals Team 6 is STV Elite Force. Send him one of the images from Google Images.

    This is what you call, "Going Viral." It'll make its rounds through the internet for a year. Gotta be embarrassing, though.

    You're right about it being overzealously moderated. They even moderated my SIGNATURE, which served me well for over a year, and deleted it, forcing me to make a new one!!! And I'm pretty sure it only got looked at because I posted in the thread that got moderated!!!
