I don't get it

I get it. There used to be such a thing as a "Walking Out" uniform. The messiness began a long time ago when folks started going off base in BDUs.

It's like that other abomination "Office Casual." Or what Americans now wear to shop at Wal-Mart. Pierced and tattooed 250-lb teenagers with bare midriffs (both sexes) are OK at Disneyland perhaps (where no sane person of my generatiion would be caught dead anyway), but not in the military.

So how does this rant in any way equate to wearing "cammies" off-base?

I respect the USMC, but stupid crap like this is why I would never join and why I always recommend against friends/acquaintances joining them.
