Rule 19:

In most wars, the Army with the worst looking uniforms usually wins.

Yeah! What he said! Army's green where I come from. This is as stupid as that idiota suprema Shinseki trying to make the whole Army look like Rangers with the black beret.

We wore blue up ‘til the early 20th century. We didn’t wear greens until the ‘50s. Bring back the blues [As a former tanker/ cavalry descendant, I’m partial].

lol re: the comment about getting the number for the fraud, waste and abuse hotline.

My opinion, as an Army wife who will have to look at my favorite man in this security guard wannabe get up: YUK! The PJ’s otherwise known as ACU’s are ugly enough. Please stop with the UGLY! LOL

Someone posted a pic a week or so ago on this that had a pic of some ROTC cadets in very sharp khaki/forest green uniforms.

Tradition is ok, so long as the style comes with it. Going for old colors with new styles has made the Class A look really low-rent and not inspiring. Esprit de corps only works if you want to be part of that corps.

I ride the Metro every day with hundreds of soldiers (Blue Line to Pentagon and on to DC) in their camouflage and have to say they look hot, hot, hot. Uh, that is, very attractive and masculine. They even have camouflage notebooks, brief cases, messenger bags etc. and look great. I hope this doesn’t mean that is going to change.

I think the Army should return to the classic brown/khaki Class A of the 30’s and 40’s.

Now, at 21 years out, I’d be happy just to still fit into my Class A’s.
