Read an article today at Army Times online that briefly addressed past moves by Congress to have all services wear the same combat uniform, citing a need to reduce the possibility of friendly fire incidents. According to the article lawmakers have dropped that idea, suggesting services need to "coordinate" better when fielding combat uniforms. Messy prospect in my view.
I agree with Congress thinking in part, however, when the Air Force and Navy come up with combat uniforms that seem to me to be way off mark in relation to what Soldiers and Marines wear, that some sort of mandated standards might be a good idea.
