Now that's what I call throwing in the towel. Typical American Frontrunner.

The DOD military uniform hog trough still very active. The Navy recently went away from the stupid blue on blue digital duty uniform, now the Army is going through it's next uniform change. Just a decade ago they decided on doing away with the 'old' greens and just a revamped dress blues for all. Now, they are going back to 'pinks and greens', better known as the WWII dress uniform.

It's a classy and classic look, and when the modern dress blues for all was being considered, I said they needed to get rid of the greens and go back to pinks and greens. While I love the choice, this uniform swapping is getting ridiculous. It's costly in a lot of ways. Ever since Shinseki decided everyone needed a beret it seems troops have been changing uniforms more than their drawers.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with either chocolate chips or DCUs, but they had to give us the lame digitals that sucked in the field, then when enough time had passed they effectively admitted their mistake and went to multicam, which is a good uniform.
Can we just stop please.

DCUs were terrible.

BDUs were great.

Former Delta Force commander Gen. Jerry Boykin on Marxism at West Point
Boykin said West Point’s failure to catch up with Rapone stems from President Barack Obama’s tenure as commander-in-chief.

“West Point is an honorable institution of higher education; however, the leadership is frightened of everything about the Marxist movement, and for eight years people were chosen for leaders who would support radicalization and political sensitivity,”

Exactly. One was forest green and the other had pink in it.

LTC Heffington who turned in Rapone, but was ignored, has written a response to West Point disowning Rapone and his actions, and it's shocking take down of what West Point has become.

I shouldn't be shocked they're changing the uniform again. I didn't expect it so soon, but I should have.

I had nine different uniforms in eight years while I was in.
