Hey bungo, I’m a US Navy veteran and I always though it’s be cool if we vets could potentially have a military veteran emblem in the game. Would you guys be willing to support this for say manorial day?

As someone that's been serving for over 9 years, I don't think this is a good idea. First of all, how would you prove your service to a video game company? I certainly wouldn't want to send them documents that would do that. And without proof it would just be based on trust, which would definitely be abused. Second as others have said, having a US military emblem could cause a lot of issues from players around the globe that don't support the US military, and trying to include emblems from all over the world would cause all sorts of issues. Overall I don't think that kind of thing belongs in a video game. You can be proud of your service, and others can support you for it as they wish, but you don't need to display it with every single thing you do.

6 RepliesEdited by ElBambino: 2/22/2021 12:08:19 AMNo. Let me elucidate why I say "no". 1. When you joined the U.S. military, it was to serve your country and your fellow citizens, not to get participation trophies that say "look at me I'm special!" 2. We have [i]enough[/i] participation trophies here already for people to display that have [i]zero[/i] to do with D2. 3. While I respect the US military, creating such a pin for no reason (and yours isn't a reason) would only cause potential problems from people living in other countries and their feelings toward [i]their[/i] respective military.

Destiny is an international game and you've seen the pandering they'll do to satisfy the majority. Not to mention the spotlighting would make a whole bunch of problems. I don't know, honestly. I think the best we can do is just show our support personally. Some people prefer to live up to the idea of Silent Service.

You're playing a game made by a company who has utter contempt for you just so you know.

1 ReplyKind of pointless isnt it? You do what you do for the pride and protection of your country, not to parade some emblem in a game. What about people from other nations that serve in the military too? Should bungie make ones for each country?

I don't mind something being done for our Special Forces players. I'm just a civilian but I will stand behind a tribute to the troops. I'll have my salute emote ready. That's the best I can do.

8 RepliesEdited by Starlight Raven: 2/21/2021 8:11:04 PMWill it fund anything? Bungie makes emblems and pins if they want to support an effort, like Gay Pride, BLM or Australian Wildfire Aid. What would you recommend?

4 RepliesYeah... nah. This will bring up a whole slew of problems. Be proud of the service you did for your country, but realize that Destiny isn't exclusive to american players. Not everyone is supportive of the u.s. military.

2 Repliesthank you for your service, whereas i respect the military because my dad was former air force i dont think bungie is a fan of the military plus which i cant believe im about to say this what bungie did with the blm and pride emblems those were profit stunts to give them a small amount of money so whereas a couple of other people said if they make an emblem for military it would not be taken to kindly by other countries because they might feel as if they didnt earn the right to be respected. but yes whereas it would be honorable to receive said emblem for recognition, i think your recognition should be kept with your family.

Thank you for your service. I appreciate the sacrifices you have made to allow this simple forum to exist and for me to post. However based upon Bungies language and support of other avenues, if anything they view you as an enemy. Which is saddning.
