After 33 years, I have to ask, why is theSTD Army brown towel so small?

Who the hell can use that thing, beyond hand towel, buffing towel, or wrapping it around your neck, what is it good for? I mean what soldier can actually use that thing around their waist? Why can't AAFES Clothing Sales come up with the Soldiers Shower Size towel? Inquiring minds want to know.

Chief,
Because no one, I say no one, has the luxury of drying oneself thoroughly when there is war things to do! We aren't in Hollywood... We dry the important bits and move on with a purpose!!! HOOAH!! :)
Oh, and they are probably try to find the last bit of sandpaper to integrate into the already tiny towels to make them more miserable. Lol
((former Army, Sir... In case, you felt compelled to make an AF-related Egyptian cotton towels reference... Which, by the way, I would not blame you.)) :)

These aren't meant to wrap around your waist, you're supposed to sling it over your shoulder, put your hands on your hips and confidently walk amongst your peers without a care in the world.

Wish I could give you a whole helluva lot of thumbs-up on this one!!! Other than when going to the field or required to possess them for PLDC, once I was done with OSUT I NEVER used the damn things cuz they were so small and did a pretty piss poor job of drying me!! Whoever came up with the dimensions for them should have been shot on sight!!
