Quoted: Why do the berets have to be black? I know they want to motivate the troops, but it devalues the black berets that guys have worked hard for. Brown berets could look pretty sharp. The rangers are going to a brown in color hat..it was from a campaign earlier this century and they wernt allowed to wear them until now |

burn, Ranger brown ? A battle earlier this century ? Not allowed to wear until now ? No offense, but someone is feeding you a whole dumptruck of BS there. It sounds like something SMA Aunt Tlley made up. Honor, Respect and Discipline. Earned, Not Issued. 11B2P Strike Hold |

Quoted: They cancelled the order with China, they were made in the US instead. Kharn No they didn't. During the recon. plane thing they were going to destroy the unissued berets that had been delivered from China, and get some domestic berets. They decided it didn't make any sense to destroy them since they were already paid for. IIRC If we have a war will there be a "beret gap"?? What if shipping lanes with China are cut? Will we be unable to deploy the Army due to lack of headgear?? Perhaps there is a plan to fight an indoor only war so berets won't be a neccesity.[;)] [;)] [;)] |
| I just remember them being extremely hot here in Florida in the summer. You could overlook the problems with wearing the beret because of the history and pride, but now that the beret is shared by every soldier I believe it will be known as a pain in the ass. 11B4S A/3/11th |
