Some people may criticize this move but, as a retired AF officer, I always thought that arbitrarily making military wear fatigues was kind of a sham. If you’re in combat, deployed, or have a job where it makes sense—then absolutely. If you’re in CONUS, working in an office, then what is the point? Other than “solidarity” with those who are deployed, I can’t think of one.

My son is a Naval Captain and works at the Pentagon, I'll have to call him and get his thoughts on this.
