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

If you do some research you will find that Robert McNamara implemented a standard uniform and weapon for all branches in the 60s. More economical and efficient for the armed forces and the taxpayer. It's worth a Google!

I would support it, but I think that all branches should go back to the days of high and tight while they are in a garrison setting. Pressed uniforms and shined boots ( for at least me ) gave a sense of pride in the wearing of the uniform!

Uniformity is preached across all branches so why not. This would also benefit when SM of a different branch should recognize and render salutes if the uniform is the same across the board.

For all land forces yes, airfarce included, thier bases are on land. Navy and Coast Guard not so much. Don't really want to blend in with the ocean if you manage to fall overboard! Just saying.

I think if we all can agree on a pattern, and have different colors to represent each branch, that would be fine.

No. The services have different rank structures. The services have different missions (even though they occasionally blur). The services have different histories and traditions. What good would come of erasing those lines?

I think all branches with perhaps the exception of the Coast Guard should just be rebranded as "The Federation" and we can all wear the same uniforms and share equipment and training resources. Too much is lost by everyone trying to do their own thing. We could all learn things from each other and save this country money. Not to mention if we combined we wouldn't need as many Generals and their salaries cost us a lot for the amount of work they actually do.

Should be noted this all started when yhe army didn't want to use the marpat pattern the usmc had developed. Cause some army General wanted his stamp on the new uniform.
Really the army and airforce, and navy should have followed the marine marpat pattern.

Yes, as long it is just the utility uniform, and rank and military service were easily identifiable. The military wastes a lot of money on constant changes to the uniforms.

It would save a lot of money and possibly bring down the barriers of us and them mentalities.

No the uniform defines the branch we all work together but we’re all different

It is not the uniform that dilineats the service, rather, it is the ethos.

If you are only talking cammies/BDUs, I say sure why not, but let each branch keep their rank devices and such. But not dress uniforms
