"Brass" is a reference to officers; typically, it refers to higher level (field grade) officers (Major and above); particularly, those in the command and decision making process.
That Chihuahua was as bold as brass until he got right up close to the German Shepherd. The US Army's Tenth Mountain Division is as bold as brass. Check their records for yourself!
There was a trench knife issued to US Army troops that was a knife that had a "Brass Knuckles" handle. Brass Knuckles is a brass "ring" that you slip over your hand, each finger going into a loop. This is used for hand-to-hand fighting. The knife had this same construction as part of the handle/grip. I'm not sure if this was an official Army issue. The Army preferred the soldier carry a bayonet that would fit onto the rifle. This brass knuckle trench knife couldnot do this.
Probably about $20 bucks since there's only 1 or 2 sites that have them.
Possibly J. Lawton "Lightening Joe" Collins, one of the very best corps commanders in the US Army in WWII. Collins went on to be commanding general of the US Army, as Chief of Staff, in the 1950s.
The US Army, like the US Department of Defense, is supported by the tax payer. The US Army Corp of Engineers is part of the US Army; just like the US Army Artillery, or US Army Armor, or US Army Infantry.

During the Vietnam War, US Army M48A3 Patton 90mm tank shells were about $200 per round; those with all brass shell casings firing HE (High Explosive). In 1970, most of those brass shell casings were transitioned to non-brass metals (cheap metals).

The brass instrument used by the Roman army is classified as a "trompettes," specifically the cornu and the tuba. The cornu was a circular brass instrument used for signaling, while the tuba was a straight, elongated instrument primarily used in military and ceremonial contexts. Both instruments played crucial roles in communication and morale during battles.
