US Army's new uniforms a throwback to WWII

[Kyle]

A spokesperson for the Army told FOX Business that the look – which was worn by soldiers in World War II and the Korean War – is “one of the most admired and recognizable” in the service’s history.

The style is meant to “inspire trust and confidence.”

And Fox took that at face value, huh? Dumb azzes.

It's the same story as Stars and Stripes and the NY times, what's the issue?

Hats look like something from an Asian country.

My guess, probably because Fox didn't question Trump's statement that there wasn't going to be additional costs to taxpayers.

We (Army folks) have been arguing, politicking, nudging, annoying, etc. for a return to "Pinks and Greens" since at least the late 1970s when the Army ditched the Summer Khakis and brown Class A shirt and went to the bus driver "Greens" Class A uniform for both summer and winter uniforms.

Glad to see someone finally got the message (though about 10 years too late for me to enjoy; yes, I would have bought them if only to retire in them!).

The downside is that the Army tinkered a bit too much with them. A sop to someone/something, but not sure yet. Wished they had just went with the same uniform and options, but with modern (non-wool) fabrics.

Do they still tuck the tie into the shirt?

No. I think that's one of the differences. I would be more for it (the tuck) than against it, FWIW.
