I've consistently wondered why the U.S. Army is the only branch that wears the full-color U.S. Flag patch on the combat uniform. Marines don't wear anything on their combat uniform, but Navy and Air Force both wear the subdued U.S. Flag patch on theirs. AR 670-1 Ch 19-18 states "All soldiers will wear the full-color U.S. Flag embroidered insignia utility and organizational uniforms, unless deployed or in a field environment. Soldiers will wear the subdued tactical flag insignia while deployed or in a field environment." While I understand the regulation, it seems to me that wearing the subdued flag insignia would make more sense because it matches the uniform pattern. What are your thoughts?

Per the British Army Line Forces, we do not consider the Coloured Union Flag, commonly mistakenly called the Union Jack, adheres to the standards required of Camouflage. The USA Army standard is contrary, as is their right of decision. However, I should like to bring to notice the USA WWII dress code. Look to the back of the Helmet during that era, note the vertical white line present for nocturnal map reading! From a snipers perspective: From the rear, aim at this white target, descend 2" from its base and your target is omnipresent: A sad truth for so many!
My advice, respectfully given, as I am now a long term (1983), proud, Naturalized US Citizen who votes: Change your camo requirements and save the unnecessary amounts of trauma to which I have been a part of providing Surgical expertise to in both the UK Royal Army Medical Corps and twenty-seven years in USA Operating Rooms.

The only USAF personnel that wear a full color flag patch are flight crew. Now it has been nearly 30 years since I retired, I go to the base hospital, BX and commissary and observe the current active duty members (both USAF and ARMY), in how they wear the current uniforms. I see ARMY wearing full color flag patches and only USAF aircrew members wearing full color flag patches. All other USAF personnel just wear command and unit patches, along with their speciality badges and rank. One thing you might notice what differs USAF from ARMY is the flag patch is worn on the left shoulder sleeve and the ARMY the flagbis worn on the right shoulder sleeve. But the "stars" are always worn facing forward and never backwards.

It’s just this easy: the Army was first, always leads the way and is the BEST there is!! As for the other branches, they just can’t hang!

Well I have been on the side of two branches. Marines and Army. Yes the Army created first. Sadly the Army is also first in the amount of AWOL drug usage, and homicide.

I think after a "little inducement", some Brass in the Pentagon figured that would make it easier to distinguish Army personnel from Air force and Navy personnel in a situation that required it. As there are more Army personnel then any other branch, sales of the full colored patch to the largest service would be more profitable to the Congressman or Senator who the owned the company that "just happened" to get that contract. Many years ago when the Army switched to Brown T-Shirts and Handkerchiefs, it "just so happened" a certain elected congressional official owned the company that got that contract, go figure. Rations: Check out who owns the Texas Biscuit Co, go figure. JMHO

3, 380 architects and engineers more than 15,000 scientists, including 52 Nobel laureates and 63 recipients of the National Medal of Science, some 320 skilled commercial of military pilots (Pilots for 9/11 Truth), and some 58 elected public officials are saying that scientific irrefutably evidence proves that the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings were destroyed by explosives and incendiaries.

There is also a video of yellow colored steel dripping off the side of the south Twin Tower just before it collapsed. It is not aluminum metal because it is silver color as a liquid.

Marines don't go into battle looking like Christmas trees. I'm surprised the Army doesn't put lights on it's officers - to make them clearly visible during ops. My question to you, is why does the Army have to wear all that crap?

Maybe not lights, but color-coded reflective PT Belts. Blue = Officer, Green = NCO, Yellow = Junior Enlisted

Yes, we had this in Iraq 2008.
