Us Military Personnel In Europe To Be Warned Not To Wear Uniforms Off-base

[longknife]

Kinda sad isn't it? We supposedly have one of the most powerful armed forces in the world and we're gonna tell out troops to remove their uniforms if they plan on leaving their installations.


However, the Army garrison at Baumholder, part of the larger U.S. Army Garrison Rheinland-Pfalz, posted new rules on its Facebook page Thursday telling soldiers not to wear uniforms in “off-post commercial areas such as shopping malls, theaters and other high population venues," such as festivals or pedestrian zones.


I'm sorry but I just find this too disgusting for words.

Why put personnel at risk? Use camoflague in batle to conceal and hide your assets and personnel, why not follow the same logic off-duty?

 

[The Germans are coming]

I have met many us sldiers in uniforms on nights out.

guess this is mainly due to the islamist threat.

Having spent 12 years stationed in Europe I can say, with certainty, that any American GI off base in or out of uniform stands out as who he or she is!

First thing is to look at the haircut. Then the shoes.

Shoes? What are you a woman? No guy looks at another guy's shoes.

Germans tend to be quite good at seeing anyone who is not German! So it's women who spot them - and tell their husbands or male companions.

In the late 70's to the mid 80's we were not allowed to go ashore in our Cracker Jack uniforms or any uniforms in Europe and in the Middle east due to groups like the red brigade in Italy and Germany and Muslim extremists in the ME.

Seems what the article's about is that ordinarily you're not allowed to dress in civilian attire. Presumedly then, some personnel would like to 'dress down' off-base and unarmed but aren't allowed to.
