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

I think all the armed forces branches should have their own variations of the camouflage type uniforms.

you better believe it. here in Roswell NM we have 203 satellites over our heads 24/7 and drones. A standard uniform non color coded, would help to preserve non disclosure of rank etc....

Like I need a BDU on a ship. The aquaflage proved to be an amazing idea and next year I'll be wearing green and tan. Just call us the U.S. Water Army.

I don't know. I can see the army, marines and air force having similar uniforms; but not the navy. You camoflauge sailors at sea they won't be seen by rescue vessels minus a life raft. Then there is the matter of showing rank. Navy shows all ranks from E4 and up on their sleeves for working uniforms. It would take away the tradition of "tacking on the crow". Plus they have to be fireproof in case of shipboard fires. These are just a few itemsbi thought of. Add more if you feel inclined to agree that the fleet needs to stay TRUE BLUE.

Should be equal. That way there would be no animosity and cut down on costs.

Uniforms are what makes a team cohesive and avoids confusion.....
I dont want baseball players suddenly wearing football or soccer uniforms...
Maybe that's just me....
A lot of young men have joined a particular branch over another just because of the uniform!!!!

Nope!! Keep them all the way they are. Each uniform for each branch is outfitted for what they do to give them maximum cover.

Mr McNamara had the standardization idea in the 60s and we all ended up wearing sateens, probably the most uncomfortable and least colorfast uniform I wore. We went to Vietnam, found out they were neither durable or climate appropriate and went to various tropical weight uniforms with the Army having one style (slanted breast pockets) and the USMC another. Both evolved according to the needs of the specific service. The problem with the DOD wide uniform is it's developed by a committee trying to solve very different service requirements, preferences and desires and you end up getting a compromise that serves no one well with very minimal savings. Let it be.

Support this idea. It’s ridiculous to have different uniform patterns for the branches it should be the same across the armed forces
