?!?!!
why the hell does someone keep taking my "On the box of a video-game called Battlefield Vietnam[1] the soldier has a Ace of spades on his helmet similar to the one on the Soldier's Stash" off....I dont think its so bad to let people now.--The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kexbiti (talk) • contribs)
- Probably because it's not interesting or relevant. The association with the ace of spades has already been mentioned, and that particular example has no relevance to TF2. Moussekateer 22:57, 28 October 2010 (UTC)
trivia
The new space comic has the soldiers cutout comrades wearing similer hats. Should it be noted in trivia? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ruffmajorkc (talk) • (contribs) 18:05, 25 July 2011
- Not really notable. The fact that some soldiers traditionally wear playing cards on their helmets is already mentioned in the trivia section on the Soldier's Stash page. » Cooper Kid (Blether · Contreebs) 16:47, 25 July 2011 (PDT)
Soldier's Stash (One of the best hats)
The Soldier's Stash is probably one of the best hats that the makers of TF2 made. I think it should of last a little bit longer but then again its been up on the market for so long that it deserved its retiring. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stipz (talk) • (contribs) 23:24, 14 March 2012
- Not really a post for the Wiki, try going to the forums instead. » Cooper Kid (blether) • (contreebs) 14:11, 18 March 2013 (PDT)
New Equip Region
Can the Stash now be equipped with other helmets? It now has a unique equip region and should be mentioned if it can. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by GamerAddict7796 (talk) • (contribs)
- The Soldier's Stash can be equipped with other items, yeah. The infobox notes the equip region, though, and that links to Equip region page which covers it, so it isn't really necessary to mention it on the item's page. --Omolong (talk) 08:58, 5 April 2014 (PDT)

In answer to Bananbois’s general question, what do these helmets have to do with each other?: They are reference to service in the Vietnam War.
- Each is an M1 helmet, an iconic Vietnam War holdover from WWII.
- Each is decorated with helmet paraphernalia associated with the Vietnam War.
- Each represent a distinct personal attitude towards service in Viet Nam:
- Soldier's Stash, gung ho/enthusiastic
- Shellmet, practical
- Fortunate Son, less than enthusiastic (citing no less than 5 references to avoiding death in combat; privilege, siding with the ascendant Communists, running, dodging, war/military protest) .
