Why do all of our military folks wear cammies all the time ...
Oh boy, you hit one of my "hot spots" dead center. It makes me sick to my stomach to see cammies out in public.
Even worse, I see officers - even generals - on TV answering questions or whatever in cammies. Despicable.
As a former Marine, I wouldn't have been caught dead wearing cammies off base.
Heck, we had weekly award ceremonies at Camp Lejeune (late 60s), and even then we all wore dress uniforms.

“As a former Marine, I wouldn’t have been caught dead wearing cammies off base.”

We took pride in a well “spit polished” pair of black or brown oxfords. Now desert combat boots are standard foot garb. No doubt there’s a very good reason for this. Or not??
