Should read “He’s one of “our” warriors!
Yes, and he’s running for senator from Nevada. The belt is actually part of the British uniform dating to WWI. Sam Browne is the correct name and that is all I know. I thought you meant Browne, not Brown. Sorry.
The Sam Browne Belt is still an approved part of the US Marine Corps oficers dress uniforms.
HISTORY OF THE SAM BROWNE BELT
(from wikipedia)
“During World War I, the Sam Browne Belt was approved by General Pershing, commander of the AEF, for wear by American officers as a rank distinction. However, the Army as a whole did not immediately approve its use. MPs were positioned at stateside docks and confiscated them from returning officers.”
“The United States Army mandated the Sam Browne belt for overseas soldiers in 1918 under the name “Liberty belt” and for all service members in 1921, this time under the internationally accepted name “Sam Browne belt”. It was a standard part of the uniform between World War I and World War II. It was limited in use in 1940 when the Army abandoned sabers and replaced with a cloth waist belt that was sewn to the officer’s jacket.”
“During World War I the Marine Corps adopted a brown leather Sam Browne Belt. It was later changed to black, the official color of Navy and Marine Corps leather gear. It is worn as part of the dress Blue A & B, Blue-white dress, and service A uniform by sword-bearing commissioned and warrant officers.”
