Its not the recognition that anybody is looking for. It's the premise of they think just because they have armor they are the bigger fan and they will go and flog that in everybodys face just so they get the recognition. Did you hear anything about the rebel legion helping at the rose bowl parade. Hell No. And if you did it was in a negative remark most likly made by a 501st member. I have know fans that as soon as they join it all goes to their head and they want nothing to do with the "other side", unless it suits their need. But granted I do know others who are not like this. But they seem to be few and far between.
