There is a graphic with explanations but go down to the bottom of the page to see a neat video @ How US Army uniforms changed over the 240 years since independence

All uniforms have changed over the past several hundred years.

Today some version of camo is the fashion for the battle dress utility (BDU's) attire.

And the many other uniforms are mostly gaudy and pretentious -- badges all over the chest and sh!t like that.

Not a bad idea. If I saw that coming at me I'd certainly tuck tail and run.

You look at the majority of these guys and examine their Fruit Salad, it's amazing how much of it is no more than Being There and Doing That stuff. At least this guy is a Master Parachutist with combat jumps and one or two medals for valor. Of course, all the rest is the result of what every officer gets for just serving beyond 4 years.

Brits a whole lot less gaudy - but then, they don't get into wars like we do.

A general with 40 to 45 years time in service is going to be crawling with ribbons and medals.

In Petraeus' case it however did not give him the correct judgment to resist going all-in with Mrs. Broad-ass.

He could have been the US President someday, probably now even, with Trump being a chump and the GOP bereft of any other good candidates. But he went for himself and for his one eyed willy instead.

I am however surprised that the two of them could not keep that a secret together.

What ever happened to mum's the word?
