One of the worst decisions made making the beret standard head gear. It should be something you earn. Besides the beret just isn't American.

I hear you on that.
I was instantly P.O'd when I heard aboout the headgear.
A guy I knew in my old unit had been in the 3rd Ranger BN.
I told him that I felt it was an insult to him if I wore the beret since I never went to Ranger school.
He nodded because he knew what i meant.
Though he was of the opinion that I was Ranger material.
I, however, was not.
Who ever heard of a 5'5" skinny as a rail Ranger?
(Besides that, I liked what I did. Has to be the bright flashes and loud noises. Artillery is addictive.)

Morale in my unit plummeted further than it already had after that decision.
(It was already in the dumper due to mismanagement and idiocy by the brass in my Battery. Heck , we had guys transfer out in herds to get out of there.)
