Excited about the Army’s new ‘pinks and greens’ uniform? Stand by to stand by.

I think we need to look professional in a dress uniform

We've only been wearing the ASUs for 7ish years. We were in ACU for almost 12. I just want them to pick a uniform and stick with and stop wasting the money on this. Give me more training ammo, or develop a readiness measuring database that actually works.

Well hopefully it happens. It's the best service uniform the Army's ever had. And the ASU should go back to being a dress uniform, as it was designed to be back in the 1930s.
As impractical or superficial as it sounds, pride as a soldier starts and always has started with a uniform. It's as old a tradition as armies themselves. You put people in a suit and tie, they'll look like men; an example for society. The honor of wearing a smart uniform is supposed to be a soldier's reward for so much discipline, fitness and sacrifice. It should illicit feelings of admiration and envy from others, not sympathy. The ACUs are practical for the field, combat or fatigue duty. But when there's a habit of schlubbing around in them 99% of the time, they become glorified "Mao suits": shapeless, rank-less and essentially Marxist in principle. They stifle pride, whether anyone feels it or not.
