I am probably just being paranoid but

what is it about that pyramid-shaped triangle thingy on Bush's jacket he wore to visit the troops? Anybody know what it says or what it stands for? The space shuttle people wore a similar patch, too.

1. Insignia for a Armored Division

Looked like the 1st Armored (Old Ironsides).

3. On review of picture...

Definitely the patch of the 1st Armored. Note the soldier to the right, he has a similar patch (with less color) that's also for the 1st Armored.
So, he's passing out turkey to an armored division, and someone in the upper chain gave him a jacket with the patch. Done all the time. If he were on a ship, they'd give him a hat with the ship's name on it.

4. okay thank you, i just

wondered because it seems everything in government or on certain business logos have some type of triangle or pyramid shaped logo. Look at AOL for instance. Maybe the triangle is just a popular eye-catching logo. Just observe and see what you think. I mean look at the pyramid on the dollar bill. It's either the triangle or an eye like on top of the pyramid on the dollar.

5. I believe the triangle represents the three brigades of the division.

7. No, acutally, the triangle is very rare in the military

as a patch Most are round, oval or sheild shaped.

6. You mean this?

It's a conspiracy - everyone wearing a patch like that is in on it.
