That’s about as stupid as saying we should eliminate the U.S. Marines.Afterall the Army can also make Amphibious landings onto the worlds beaches.

Each one of these services is there for a reason.The Air Force was once part of the Army and the reason the Air Corp became the Air Firce was that the congress believed that nation needed an Independent Air Force.

Each of the services need to have standardized equipment and uniforms.

The entire Air Force doesn't need their own special tiger stripe camo leisure suits. The ONLY ones in the Air Force who need camo uniforms are the air crews, PJ's, FAC’s and the Security Forces. The rest can go back to wearing OD green BDU style uniforms.

The Navy doesn't need their aquaflage and the half dozen other camo uniforms they have. The only ones in the Navy who need camo are SEALS, air crews, corpsmen (when assigned to Marine units)

The Army has been a train wreck ever since Shinseki was CoS. First starting with the cook white looking ACU’s which proved ineffective in the desert and especially Afghanistan. Lessons lerned from Afghanistan brought Multicam into the mix, and now they're going to change the uniforms once again with something new.

At least the Coasties have it right in that they keep their uniforms simple.
