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

Home rice and yaki Mondo! To sit here at my desk and review all the whining going on about interservice pride and how they wish to remain separate from other services, reminds me of the whiney millennial or so called LBGT groups who with their colorful dress arrangements, screams for equality. If this issue is so important than perhaps a light violet green with a tint of pink rose uniform would suffice. Than when in a combat situation the enemy can laugh themselves to death or allow our forces to obliterate them while they’re in this hysterical mode. Refer to the uniform as “The violet rose destruction camo’, yeah! That’s it the violet rose. Wink, Wink

Special Ops need special uniforms then everyone wants them Vietnam era was the Tiger Stripes based off of the Bengal Tiger and everyone loved when we all had Olive Green. Change is good but as far as tactical uniforms they should be by capability. If you want one join that disiplane or ask for improvements for your current. Everyone wanted a beret because they felt left out. Well guess what you got the Black Ranger Beret that had to be earned before. Special Forces and Airborne stayed with Green and Maroon Beret. POINT we earned those berets and I Do not believe in a Statndard. Earn it.

Absolutely not! Each service should have their own uniform. Don't try to make grunts out of sailors. In my opinion each service member is proud of the service which they serve. That distinct uniform gives them the pride in their unit. I was shocked the first time I saw sailors wearing what I call Gucci-flage. Camo at sea? REALLY?? I was involved with the uniform change in the Navy back in the 70's when they went to the same uniform Seaman to Admiral. Bad move! That traditional service dress blue so familiar to many made it easy to identify our sailors all around the world. Thank goodness they came back to their senses with a return to the traditional bluejacket. More recently, they tried to take away the rating badge that identified the specialty of the sailors. That rating badge immediately identified that sailor's skills. They take great pride in that and there was a big push-back from the fleet. Upper management came to their senses on that issue as well. I took pride in being an Electrician's Mate and then as a Gas Turbine tech. Soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines are not just a bunch of empty-headed machines programmed to move in order.

I support a standard operational uniform, let our Dress Uniforms be distinct between services but when it comes to fighting we are Americans and should be the same.

No, the Army and Marines should have similar, maybe even identical, work uniforms because they do very similar jobs. The Navy has no use for a BDU type uniform. In fact, as the blueberries have shown, they basically are useless in a shipboard situation. In a man overboard situation, they become a hindrance to survivability.
