Now this looks good. Looks just like what my dad wore during WW2 and Korea when he was in the army.

It's not new if it's retro.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Approved!
Now, they need to go back to the old USAAC roundel...

 

[Auld Phart]

Mistake.

They need to stop changing the uniforms for military personnel.

Seems every 4 years, I had to buy a brand new full set of the 'remodeled' uniform.

with no idea whether I should trash the old one, or store it in case they changed their minds.

If they want to change the uniforms, do it for the officers.


They can afford it.

 

[Claudette]

Those new uniforms look good but there is no need to change uniforms for the enlisted at all.

If Officers want to change, they can afford it.

Always liked that insignia.

Ask Grandpa.

We will soon have gray uniforms again in good old Germany.

Saw a soldier interviewed with a new WWII-style topper last night.

There was a good reason we dropped that roundel:
"Friendly fire isn't."

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

More bullshit uniform changes that the soldier will have to pay for.

 

[Silent Warrior]

Changing uniform styles is purely political. It would be better if they spent their time on improving weapons and tactics and leave the uniforms alone.

 

[Care4all]

What's the difference between this new style uniform jacket and this old style?

Not much difference....

I think it is UGLY.

The few, the proud;

General Smedley Butler and his pups.

 

[HenryBHough]

Snowflakes dressed in pink are still snowflakes.

People who don't wear uniforms must die.

Looks good I hope they get rid of those stupid berets too. They look like someone is wearing a cow pie on their head. Now maybe the Air Force will improve their crappy uniforms too. The Navy's enlisted uniform has needed some change for many decades. Those silly caps and bell-bottoms have always looked really stupid.

I like it.

I don't. It seems to be grasping at glory from the past instead of looking forward to new glory to be made.

I would prefer they go to some kind of camo jump suit.
