Too funny, since Mitchell was U.S. Army wearing the World War I vintage olive drab Army uniform.

If looking like Mitchell (who was court martialed and forced out of the service for publicly saying that the Secretaries of War and the Navy had blood on their hands following the Shenandoah crash) was their reasoning, then they might as well just adopt the U.S. Army's uniform.
