Do you think that the various branches should have the same uniforms?

Of course not. I think that there are certain traditions that go along with certain uniforms.

Yeah the other branches can wear my uniform when they go to Parris island or sandeago

Most of Navy & Air Force have no need for camaflage utilities, and Army and Marine Corps missions are different plus pride of service should enter into it. A Soldier doesn't want to loock like a Marine and vice versa.

I agree with all that individual service branches should maintain their unique dress uniforms. I like the idea of universal field/work and combat uniforms because of the cost savings, but have a couple of concerns. First, with the Army being the largest branch, it seems to me that should they want to make a change, which they have been known to do frequently, that would force the other branches to do so also. And I know everyone will say let DOD have final say on any requested changes, but if the Army really wanted push for a change, they do have more influence than the other branches. A lot more than say if the Marines or Air Force would. Marines because of their size and Air Force because of the uniqueness of their mission. Secondly, if cost was a consideration for combat uniforms, I would think standardization of weapons and platforms would be a greater savings. I would like to hear comments on that statement. And last, consider that some branches don't even have standardization within their own service and you can see how this could be manipulated within each branch. My Dad and Uncles fought in WWII and the Army and Marines had the same battle uniforms. However, the Navy and Army Air Corps had quiet different uniforms. I really can't believe there is a one size fits all in this instance.

We are not the same per occupations, so why share a same duty uniform? They are already similar in material design, just vary with color and print. I don't want to have to wait until someone is within 6 paces of me before I can tell by their branch tape where they work (I work on a joint base).

Each branch should have its own distinctive Service Dress and Mess Dress uniforms. It is traditional, and contributes to esprit de corps. It makes sense, tactically and logistically, for the various branches to use the same combat uniforms. I also believe that there should be a utility uniform, similar to the fatigues worn in the 70's and 80's, for everyday work wear for those in occupational specialties such as vehicle or aircraft maintenance, IT, heavy equipment operators, etc. There is no need to be tactical in day to day operations, especially stateside, in those fields, and those uniforms could be made more economically, therefore easier to replace when they are inevitably ruined.

What...and all of us where Marine uniforms? I think not. I want so bad to say it's a stupid question, but seeing how our far left our education system has gone, it's a logical liberal step toward homogenizing the services...removing pride...removing tradition...removing esprit-de-corps.... all of us in grey jumpsuits saying 'Aye Comrade'.

Uniforms should be different for each branch of service.

Would save money but hmmm

Each branch of the military is unique. They are each proud of their branch, hence the rivalry. Trying to make them all look the same, I believe would be counter productive in confidence and pride. Making all the uniforms the same, to me, is like everybody gets a participation ribbon.

Ahhh Heck no!

No. Each branch has their specialty. I wouldn't want to ask a sailor if they had their tank ready for a ground assault.

We should all be wearing the same uniform. We are 1 US military. The navy & coast guard different for ship based uniforms.

Cammies/utilities can be the same, we were fine sharing in the 80s and 90s. Sleeve rolls and covers/hats varied by service and worked fine with differentiation. Service/Dress uniforms should be different.

Different uniforms define who we are and what we do. I believe that the PT test is still different from one service to the other and when they make all requirements the same then they should share a uniform.

same uniform for all branches seems a "silly" idea from both a tactical standpoint and a pride in service standpoint. The Army and Marines (plus a few special warfare units) all need cammo. The air force has no need to "hide" from anyone in nearly all cases. the Navy (except spec ops people) WANT to be seen. the present blue cammo the navy has would make it grossly hard to find someone if they fell into the sea. Coast Guard has less reason than the Navy or Airforce to need to hide.

The different services have different missions, the uniforms should reflect on and complement that mission, work, field ,or dress.

The Marine Dress Uniform is (in this man's opinion) the best looking one of all the services. I think all of the services should have the same style dress uniform as the Marines, except the color, awards, patches and insignia should be different so the different services are easily recognized.

Canada has a single uniform and it can be confusing.

The Military branches have an identity , each all their own. That identity molds the Soldier into that ideal Soldier for that specific purpose. We all wear Old Glory and that’s the only thing we need to be a cohesive fighting unit, leave us our identities.
