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

Are you kidding me sure in the hell would not trade in my alphas or Charlies for for no other unless joining other branch and only becuz was to old for the Corp. So i was planning on going to the national gaurd during the iraq war but my lil girl was born and that changed my mind .

So we don't shoot each other mistakenly!

And for dress

Is this the best idea that people can come up with to make the US military stronger or better? For God’s sake, FOCUS.

I could argue for both. I think it would benefit the services financially because instead of having to create many different uniforms, you only need to create one; however, each uniform is supposedly designed to benefit particular missions. In all honesty, I think we could all have one uniform and it would be just fine.

I don’t support it. Your uniform distinguishes your branch from the others. Shows pride in the organization you’re a part of.

I liked when everyone (besides the coast guard cause their extra) was in BDUs

Here's an idea. Stop changing the uniform unless the first four sets of the new pattern are free to all service members. Let's face it. Clothing allowance doesn't cover much.

Good idea, stop wasting money govt

We all wore the same uniform throughout the 80s, BDUs. Sometimes, depending on mission or place of deployment a unit might get issued something else, such as old OD Jungle Fatigue's from the Vietnam period, or over whites etc.

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.

Even know how to write a complete sentence? That's what I care about

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.

I'd wear those uniforms any day o the week

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.
