Would you support a standard uniform for all branches of service? Why or Why not?

Coming full circle. Back then when the Secretary of Defence was William Cohen, he required all service branches to use the same uniform pattern. Air Force had to give up the leather name patches and the Marines had to sew on their last names.
Amazing how we back to where it all started.

I never understood each brach having its own BDU anyways. Having one for all branches with each branch having their own branch tape & rank would be in everybody's best interest. The sooner the better!

I think we need to go back to a single utility uniform, like we had until the USMC developed MARPAT (then the Army tried to say "hold my beer" and failed with the ACUs). Furthermore, we need to let the combat arms professionals (infantry, special ops, etc) design the uniform... not the desk jockeys who place form over function.

Good idea. I'm partial to multicam, myself. And a hat with a brim. Give SOF types their berets back, if they want them.

We're not talking about making fashion statements. One good, versatile uniform that would serve our fighters under any circumstances would simply logistics and reduce costs. They can use hats and patches to enhance identification. Save the fashion statements for dress uniforms.
