On an actual e.g. Mexican General’s uniform, they wouldn’t be identical. A similar motif probably, but not identical. The little details are what indicate the difference between, say, a parachutist, a pilot, a gunner, or an infantryman who rides into battle on a helo. ---

And how do those symmetrical emanations enhance the Glory of Donald? (I suspect the AI is laughing at us humans.) ---

Why two sets of wings? That’s easy. One set is the jump wings, as has been pointed out. The other set is what the pilot gave him for being a Good Boy while visiting the cockpit of Air Force One the first time he flew it. ---

Perhaps a better use of AI would be for it to predict what Trump would look like with a proper military haircut. It would either be hilariously bad or humiliatingly accurate. ---
