Mirage III is a sexah plane though however ya look at it.  Maybe I'll have to get a Mig-21 shirt to counterbalance it.
Yes, a burning Mig 21 would be most suitable to go with the Mirage :)

I wouldn't say it was in the least bit offensive.

But it is just a little a trite and more than a little gay. It's like those sad idiots who wear camo trousers from Army surplus stores or 'Marines' T-shirts. Especially when they aren't even American. Or in the Marines for that matter.

I'll most likely wear it anyways -- but do you all think wearing something advertising the Israeli Air Force would be considered offensive to some?  It has a drawing of a Mirage III on it with a caption of "Israeli Air Force, defending the homeland for 60 years."  I'm neither Jewish or do I have some kind of agends with it, I'm just a military aircraft nut and have a lot of respect for the IAF and its combat record.  Some friends and family think its a bit aggressive.  Thoughts?

As long as you are not a student wearing it to school, you would be fine.   Otherwise, you would find yourself expelled.

I got arrested in Berkeley, California, for wearing this T-Shirt:

You were arrested for that? Oh my god, what a travesty! I hope you sued them!

Wow, people do that? I mean wear Marine shirts and they are not even American? That seems odd.

I'd wear a shirt that had the Brit flag printed on it though, just because it looks cool to me.

Yup, they do. It is rather sad - saw it quite recently actually. And I'm sure I've seen a TV presenter over here wearing one.

Kind of like wearing a Beefeater tunic if you were from Austin, Texas.

A flag is a flag - I wouldn't say using that was daft.

Yeah, I don't really care who it offends either, I was just shocked at some peoples reactions being so strong.
