I think it's great. Not that it matters, but I feel like it makes us all a little more universal for the civilian population, and i wish every branch looked "the same" minus a pattern that was specific to that branch if you get what I'm saying. i.e. the Army has digital/ multi cams but they have the standard flag, patches, name tapes. I think standardizing the military as a whole's uniforms would be better PR and help civilians keep up a little better. Like I said, not that it really "matters" but it can't hurt. Besides, when we deploy, we will usually get a mission-specific set of clothing depending, in which we won't be dealing with American civilians. One of the things that I don't like about the military is that civilians are always in the dark (unless they know an immense amount about it) and it makes it hard to explain branches, and components. I think we more we understand each other as a population and the more civilians understand who is representing them the better. Uniform specifics go a long long way with very minimal effort, and they mean the most to civilians, both in this country and others. Look at it this way: when you seen pictures of other country's military, how serious you take them usually can have a ton to do with how good they look as a unit because it all begins with positional standpoints, i.e. image. Sure, performance is MOST important, but imagery is always going to be a first impression and the better we can make it, the better we look like a sound and "tight" organization whether you are Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, Coast guard. Especially now with social media posting pictures on the internet.

Sure thing! Not saying we all need the same uniform or same format even, but I think we already have SO many different uniforms so why make them different when they're already different? Sure, I know each branch deserves the right to have specific trademarks per component, but we should still come back to the basics.

Yeah that's definitely true. I think everyone would agree. And I cant go to Canada because I have an 8 year contract. Hahaha

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS Thanks but I didn't have the reverse flag patch. If I did I would have put it in the picture.
