Darius Rucker, Lady Antebellum and that Australian dude are opening for the CMAs. Rucking has a 1stMarDiv patch from Guadalcanal on his guitar strap. Seems a bit young, don't he? The Battle of Guadalcanal was in 1942.

Possible it was his fathers
Doubtful, he wasn't close to his father so it's unlikely he would honor him in that way. Not to mention the fact that Rucker is younger than I am so it is also unlikely that his father was old enough to serve in WWII.
Most logical answers are he thinks it's cool or he supports the military.

I didn't watch. Can't stand what they call "country music" nowadays. It all sounds the same, cookie cutter garbage, more like pop than country.
Give me some George Jones or Patsy Cline, that's real country.
I thought this was pretty good
Every day I beat my previous record of consecutive days I've stayed alive.
What is "real country" is usually based on what you were brought up on. That's for style and age. The country I like most is more bluegrass because it's what I was raised on. As a Southern rock fan, I also like what is now called "Texas Outlaw" which is basically hard rock-country. Texas has its own style of country music.
I don't like pop country in general. That's for if you're hard up and stuck with just a radio in the truck. I do however listen to almost anything if I like the song. I'll listen to Tejano if the music is good.

The 1stMarDiv had and still has the same patch. The difference being the name of the campaign or war is listed next to the "1". I just found it curious that he would be sporting one, the mindset from my POV being "If we don't rate it, we don't wear it". An active duty person wearing something he hasn't earned can be brought up on charges for it. Anyway, I was just curious.
