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

The Multicam is gone now ODP's that use the so called Scorpion will be the common of the Army and the Airforce. But yes we should have a common uniform for the military that way Snipers would not pick the one who looks different believing that person is more important. I liked my Mulicams best Uniform I had worn since Cammies when I was in 82nd back in late 70's early 80's.

If you read all the comments, you will discover that most of the people who are for this idea are soldiers, airmen, and sailors, and most of the people who are against it are Marines. As a Marine, i can tell you that we take pride in not being anything like the army. We take pride in our own identity. We take prideb im not using velcro, using actual boot bands, pinning on rank, and our EGA over our heart. Every single Marine and veteran Marine will oppose this. Let the Army and Air Force share their service uniform patern if they want, but let the Navy and Marine Corps keep theirs.

No. The Marine Corps should never go back to being confused with the sloppiness of the Army. The Marine Corps broke away and everyone else followed. We have the best and that is why everyone else tried to mimic it with failure. So no the Army can not ever have our look again. Semper Fidelis!!!!

Since the BDU the DOD has wasted more money on uniforms I think there should be a standard Battle uniform across all branches

I would say yes, but starting with new addition uniforms and not requiring elimination of the current uniforms. It's crazy to require the individual or the government to essentially trash can serviceable uniforms. Set a start date and perhaps a two year transition time. After the transition time is passed the old uniforms would have to go. This could be amended for men and women who are in combat zones, but would require completion within 45 days of leaving the zone.

No, when the Marines came out with the cammo they got it was to set them apart. Your not going to get them to agree to wear that silly looking rounded off cammo cover either. They shouldn't be forced into it either!

No. History and traditions are represented by specific service uniforms. For daily work wear, I could see a common fatigue uniform, such as the Marines' digital camo

We could all wear the Navy uniforms, bellbottoms in combat would be far out. The same dress uniforms would make sense too for the same reasons, to save money, officers and enlisted alike could wear the same Class A, ranks would be all you need. You can save there too. All in all , I think the idea sucks, Marine can stay the same and the rest of you can be soldiers.

Now come on, we can't be introducing a common sense approach to uniforms. Too many fashion industry lobbyists have families to feed. The switch to a common field uniform for all the services would put them out of a job.
