The whole return to WWII style uniforms....is actually pretty nice looking (no clue if it's a pain in the rear end to wear). * https://twitter.com/MDW_USARMY/status/1464972439083962374?s=20 Now can someone stop letting the US Navy have camo for on ship wear, relaxed work outfits are fine, but those things look like one of the other branches played a joke on the Navy and they still haven't figured it out yet. *Also of course Trump tried claiming credit at one point. Dumpster of Horse Cum posted:“We’re rebuilding our military like never before. Brand new fighter jets. Brand new ships of all kinds. Every soldier has the best equipment,” the president said. “In the Army, we’re even getting new uniforms, and those beautiful new uniforms with the belt. It was a big deal ― the belt.”

And a contingent of retirees, civilians, and uniform cleaners/sellers are advocating for it to be worn a lot of the time at out of pocket cost to the individual. It is deliberately brutal to guys with a rough chest/shoulders to waist ratio.

I think the WWII style uniforms look a lot better, ASUs look like poo poo. ACUs we're embarrassingly awful, can't believe that pattern was ever approved. OCPs at least actually work in most of the environments we train in.

They made it a point to not interact with MINUSCA (the UN peacekeeping mission) or visit the few restaurants around town that catered to foreigners. They had a reputation of being aloof and standoffish when foreign diplomats/mil types encountered them in public, and if I recall correctly, they also pissed off a lot of people when they were initially based or doing training on top of some important figure's grave on the outskirts of Bangui. Who loving knows how much those hideous statues cost in a country that's so poor that most of the population, even in Bangui, lives on less than a dollar per day. Russia gonna Russia, CAR gonna CAR.

quote:At the end of June 2021, The New York Times obtained a report given to the UN Security Council which detailed that the Russian PMCs, under the of guise of unarmed military advisers, led government forces during the January–February counter-offensive. According to the report, the PMCs, along with their allied forces, committed violations that "included cases of excessive force, indiscriminate killings, occupation of schools and looting on a large scale, including of humanitarian organizations". The report was said to be based on photographic evidence and confidential testimonies by witnesses and local officials. The report also found that the rebels conducted forcible recruitment of child soldiers, attacks against peacekeepers, looting of aid groups and sexual assaults on women.[286] At the end of October, United Nations experts urged the CAR government to cut ties with private military and security personnel, including the Wagner Group, accusing them of committing human rights abuses.[327] Good to see the high standards of Russia being upheld.

Haven't seen it confirmed, so could easily be faked, but social media is reporting the school was aware of the threat, downplayed it, and took no action to prevent it. https://twitter.com/brandonplond/status/1465780811928584193?t=7x11Fi8BIzo6LFceJY3KgA&s=19

Army.mil/uniforms is saying that the AGSU is going to be the service dress uniform while the ASU is going to revert back to the optional ceremonial uniform like it was when we had greens and blues. Which, y'know, is still stupid as hell since the point of the ASU was to simplify.

It was a 2 star at Nattick, who after something like a hundred million dollars of research into colors and patterns, threw down a pattern and a handful of color swatches on the researchers desk and said "pick from these", and immediately retired to become a board member of the textile company that they came from.
