[edit] Oak Leaf

It doesn't look like an oak leaf. It looks more like a sycamore leaf. Any explanations on the leaf design?

It is not supposed to be a single leaf. It is a cluster of seven oak leaves arranged in a fanned circle. An oak leaf is somewhat diamond or kite-shaped, and that is what the insignia represents. Whomever altered the description to maple leaf should be shot...that's seriously insulting to the US Military. 68.159.177.77 (talk) 06:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)jgeiger54
