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

No because the uniforms separate the branches. Each Branch wants to look different than the other for the pride. When I was a Marine I wanted to look like a Marine not another branch cause I was proud of it. Now I’m in the Army I don’t want to look like a Marine cause I’m not anymore I want to live ok like a Soldier and don’t wanna look like a Airman or someone fr M the Navy it’s good too lol different

No, because I don’t want my Marine Corps to be confused with the Army. Mainly because the enemy fears us and not them. In Afghanistan they would avoid us and go after a easier softer target the Army.

I agree with one standard combat uniform. Savings alone would be worth it. It’d just be a little harder to make fun of the Air Force

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
