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

Each branch of our Armed Forces has uniqueness to themselves. So long as our combat uniforms do not betray the rules of camouflage I see no need to support such a change. Should our uniforms be too uniform with other branches what next? Forego our wearing special badges and insignia that sets us apart from others? I feel strongly that Ranger and Airborne Army units would not support such a change and neither would I.

As cost effective as this could be I would feel as they would be taking away the pride of the individual wearing the uniform of his or her branch. You joined one branch and most (I hope) feel a strong sense of pride in that branch including the specific uniforms we wear. Granted they’re pleanty of uniform changes through out every branch we still have the chance to strut our colors anywhere we go in our world. Further I don’t believe one uniform throughout the branches would be a good idea because of the implications and uses of various uniforms. The navy has their blueberries. The gray and blue digital color masks the gray paint sailors come into contact with on ship. The the Marines have uniforms best conducive to what they do in their environment. Army and the Air Force follows the same logic. The separate uniforms devolved due to separate needs of the individual branches. Plus I am not ready to pay for more sets of uniforms again. I just had to get new ones for a uniform change

There are so many other vital things money could be spent on for our military. Stop applying money and resources to yet, another uniform change. Lets focus on equipment, upgrades, maintenance, healthcare and salaries. Is this really a priority for the military?

No! Why is for a few different reasons. One is the cost, all of the other branches spent how much on their uniforms to realize that your decision was a bad one. Another is how two forces that are hardly rotating through but yet spent the money on doggies to fallow suit with the Army and Marines. Another is I couldn’t see any Marine wanting to wear your digge base ball caps or berets, it doesn’t look professional or have any traditional heritage to the Marines or Navy. The other is why do we want to look like each other, spare me the we are all on the same side. We’re on the same side of the fight, other than that we are in competition with each other and it makes us better!

The uniform shouldn't have never went obsolete with the ACU digital pattern and should've just changed over to a mulicam digital pattern cause the ACU pattern sort of tricks the eyes.So with the multicam digital pattern,it would of course look better and also would look like such a down grade from the ACU uniform
