For me, it's the German SS

They were evil as Hell, but they damn sure knew how to dress.

I wish our military had more class, style, and structure; we ought to look at WWII Wehrmacht for inspiration (minus the massacres and crazy Hitler mania of course).

Oh, and I want American military parades!!!
 
The USMC officer uniform is pretty bad ass, imo. Sleek, minimalist, martial, and cut in such a way as to properly accentuate the masculine form (something the hip exaggerating, and chest minimizing, jackets the Army prefers absolutely fail to do).

The only thing I'm not so sure about on it is the head gear.

From a purely aesthetic perspective, I think a red or grey berret would probably look better, or simply a smaller section up top.
 
Yeah, the USMC always looks cool.

The US Army uniforms during the 1890s were baller, btw.

And yes, the Nazis could dress.
 
I've always liked the look of the Confederate gray, as worn by officers. The broad-brimmed hat went well with the uniform itself. The wool must have been miserably hot, though, The officers wearing all that, buttoned up, would have been drenched in sweat if the day was at all warm or humid. That may explain why some of them went into action in shirtsleeves, without the jacket.

I have to say Swiss Army, but I'm biased since I wore the damn thing.
 
Eh. If combat uniforms are what we're talking about here, I'm not sure how you're even really supposed to judge. They all look about the same - helmets, vests, knee and elbow pads, goggles, gloves, some variety of mottled green fatigues, and etca, etca.

Obviously, I like the US Military's gear the best. Since they introduced OCP, it even blends in with things again for us Army Joes (though the Marines, of course, never had that problem to begin with). Lol

I like the WWII US Army Air Corps uniform, except for the garrison hat, which looked good only with a 50 mission crush.

Marines, hands down.

I just discovered that From 1860 to 1916 British Army uniform regulations required every soldier to have a moustache!

1916 possibly coincided with the need to get a skintight seal on your gas mask!
 
In terms of combat uniforms, the bdu od or woodland hands down. In terms of dress uniforms, the marines top the list. Army would have been a close secondd when they used dress greens, but the new dress blues are aweful by comparison.

it's funny how these guys like the Nazi and confederate uniforms.

Pretty much everyone agrees the SS uniforms (designed by Hugo Boss) were very attractive. If you can't distinguish between the aesthetics of the uniform itself and the people who wore them, that's your own limitation, not anyone else's.

You're like a fifth-grader who calls everyone he doesn't like "ugly." Believe or not, evil people can and do dress quite stylishly.
