In some ways the beret wasn’t practical. Having 2 uniforms instead of 3, though, makes sense. And, if you recall, the blue uniform predated the greens by at least one Revolutionary and Civil War. The green Class A’s didn’t show up until the 1950’s.

I’d get rid of the whites, too.

You’d have your cammies and your service uniforms. That’s it. Saves on money. Saves on time.

I don’t especially like the fruit salad, either. I’d find some other way to display that.

You’ve been here on Fr a long time, like myself. I vaguely recall the threads on FR when the original decision to adopt the beret came out..they were both funny AND intense..don’t know if they are still available via search..probably be funny and prescient to go back and read them
