Honestly it is one of the dumbest designed headgear ever made. I hardly ever wear mine but when i do it always reminds me of that fact.
Even dumber was giving berets to the entire rest of the Army.

Beret's are stupid and a waste of time, since nowadays we only pull them out for change of command ceremonies and they always look like hot garbage.

I remember when that happened.

How do you not even know not to give everyone Black? Felt bad for the Rangers.

Was there ever an acceptable explanation for issuing berets Army wide?

Not one I ever heard. My understanding was it was an attempt to increase moral by taking a symbol used by elite units and giving it to everyone so they feel elite too. It demonstrates not only a ridiculous lack of leadership but also a piss poor understanding of human nature. Many of the design features of the POS ACUs were that same mentality

Commander in Chief designer beret is 80% squirrel, 45% fox and 70% Chinese ducks asse.

Do you ever post anything that isn't gibberish.
I have a hard time believing English is your first language sometimes.

You have every right to take yourself seriously. I have other options of course as I read posts and respond to 'em. It's just that I found it ironic when you complained about the Army promoting incompetents. You might want to start a thread.

I am so glad the ACU is almost gone. That was the worst uniform I ever saw in design.

I wish we would return to a single uniform for all branches. Having 4 different "service uniforms" is a huge waste of resources and money (5 if you count the Marines having 2 different ones).

As for the beret, my biggest problem is that they made it your everyday head covering. For your dress uniforms, it is no big deal because most only wear them a few times a year. But wearing headgear that gave you no sun cover for your eyes was retarded.

It is even worse when you are at a place like Fort Ignorance. 115 in the summer, and you are walking around with a black wool thing on your head, which gave you no shade at all. To hell with looks, functionality is more important.
