Sheppard looks at him carefully, and as he shrugs on his BDU jacket, he very deliberately removes his American flag patch before his Atlantis one.
Leon feels something inside himself warm and salutes, can’t not. Sheppard gives him a crooked smile and salutes back.
*happy sigh* I adore this especially. Yes, yes, not all the military are American! It's an international expedition, and there are military from around the world, as well as scientists. I'm so glad someone remembers them :)
And #4, because yes, the SGC military aren't just grunts with guns. They are smart and capable and have been working with alien technology longer than the Atlantis scientists have. Just because they didn't spend their adult lives in universities doesn't mean they aren't highly intelligent and good at science.
