Shinseky's legacy out the window. Hope Casey's Blues as the Army Service Uniform with its white shirt/mall cop Class Bs goes soon too.

as soldiers complained that it was impractical, he said.
“It does not have a visor and doesn’t shield the sun, doesn’t absorb sweat well,” Collins said.

it took our leaders 10 years to figure out we’re practical Americans, not Frenchmen ?

What the f*** is a “Patrol cap”? Are they talking about a fatigue cap?

Berets should be earned by jumping out of planes and eating snakes. It was like giving everybody in class a pass grade so they didn’t hurt anyone’s self esteem.

The black beret should not be part of the dress uniform either. The black beret in the past was for Ranger units. It was earned. Shinseki’a bright idea was an insult to the Rangers. What was to be next, ribbons given out like Skittles? (oops, forgot, one insult to the Navy who got a Purple Heart for getting a splinter while spending Christmas in Cambodia).

black beret, which proved deeply unpopular with American soldiers Years before I questioned the burnt orange beret of the MFO, a woolen POS with no bill in the scorching desert heat. We were told we might be mistaken for Israeli Rangers if we wore the desert camo boonie hat. My response was the Egyptians would know we weren't IDF Rangers because they (the Gypos) were still alive.

The beret will be back in 10 years. It failed back in the 70s when we were all required to wear a beret of your branch colors. It didn’t last as long that time around.

What the f*** is a Patrol cap? Are they talking about a fatigue cap? Known among Marines as a Pisscutter.

The Beret should have been earned, not issued.

We used to know it as the soft cap, one each.
