So, the USMC doesn’t teach the history of its uniforms origins?

Other away around, my friend.

I well remember the USMC history classes at Parris Island. The article clearly states that it was the soldiers who had “uniform envy” of Marine Dress Blues.

I stand by my comments. FWIW, both Army and Marines have worn blue uniforms since The War Between the States. Only the Army chose to go all green.
