Wearing uniforms, i.e. field jackets, boots, caps, bomber jackets etc., has not just become a trend since today. If one wears the so-called army clothing with civilian clothes, this is also completely unproblematic from a legal point of view. Even members of the armed forces are not allowed to wear uniforms in public. There is even a law that forbids this in Germany. It concerns the §132a. This text of the law only becomes relevant when the full uniform is worn in public. Because then the appearance is made that it is a soldier. And soldiers do not show their presence on the streets in Germany except in really serious crisis situations and certainly do not sit in full uniform in a café. This then already becomes criminally relevant if one is mistaken for a real soldier. Whether one collects uniforms or badges, insignia or orders and decorations - it is a normal hobby. Today, fans of uniforms etc. have a number of possibilities to exchange information - among others via the WWW. There is even a matching domain extension, namely .army.

Allocation and use

The domain extension .army is a generic top-level domain. These are suitable for fans of uniforms, etc.. But also former members of the army can use this domain extension for their own website. Especially in the USA the fascination for the army - no matter which branch of the armed forces - is very big. There are numerous veterans in the USA who had served in the war and who now use the possibility of the WWW to share their experiences in the war or their life after active service with the rest of the world. It is mainly these people in the USA who also use the .army domain extension and also wear army clothing in combination with their work clothes.

Meaning

The importance of the domain extension .army is not particularly great if you look at it internationally. The domain extension is mainly used for websites in the USA.
