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

No I wouldn't. Having a ACU multicam uni in the Navy just doesn't make sense on a ship. So you have one exemption. Having the Air Force flight suits as ACUs, that doesn't make sense either... so a second exemption. The Marines have a tradition of different head gear, which I support. Not a Marine, but they look sharp. Each different branch has tradition and should keep that tradition alive. If not, then just have one military branch...

Not at all. I prefer to stay having the best looking uniform in the whole military, not downgrading to some army type uniform.

No.Because how can we tell which branch is which.It is like an Army Colonel giving orders to a Marine,Vise Versa.As Marines a Universal Uniform would mean saying bye bye to our iconic and famous Dress Blues.How and who would we know take our orders from.The only exception is Joint Strategic Operations Command where we take orders from multiple branchs.

Absolutely not. We do way too many different operations in different environments. That's why for the most part Marine Corps has jungle and desert uniforms. Velcro sucks and after time it wears and is no longer serviceable. I have uniforms I have had for 8 years and are still serviceable due to very minimal velcro. And my last take is like others have mentioned. Our uniforms give us pride. When people see me in my cammies they can say hey he's a Marine. Not hey there is a guy in the military. I am proud to be a Marine. I didnt join to look and be like everyone else. And for the most part most other branches have horrible military appearance and I know myself and many others would not want to be a part of the other services standards.

We spend way too much money on changing BDUs. It would appear they change color, pattern and cut every couple of months. That will not make them better soldiers

No. There should be a base working uniform for the Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps with individual service tags/rank (like BDUs used to be in the 80's and 90's, and a base working uniform for the Navy and Coast Guard, and a base uniform for the Space Corps.
Each service should have it's own unique dress uniform, with variants for Flight and Space service within the branch. Army and Air Force should be identical dress with a variance of color, green for Army, blue for Air Force.

No, not at all.
Quit trying to be Marines.
Earn the title if you want our uniform, discipline, esprit de corps and lineage.
A "common uniform" designates everyone as the same and as one military and well, frankly, it just ISN'T SO!
