>>, the USMC doesn’t teach the history of its uniforms origins?
Other away around, my friend.
Other way around.<<
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.
As they say, “There’s history and then there’s USMC history.”
USMC uniforms began as cobbled uniforms taken from US Army uniforms. Look at the pants, as it’s obvious to anyone not parroting what they heard in boot.
And, FWIW, the Army had khaki class A/b uniforms and blue dress uniforms. I don’t know where you heard it, but the Army never went “all green”. We ditched the khakis for green and kept the blue dress uniforms. Now, they’re ditching the green so they can use the blue dress uniform in place of both.
It’s a bad decision, but the facts are nothing close to what you’re posting.
