Spuzz Yeah, all the services got silly over many years, glad I retired before it got embarrassing. For a while there the USAF changed their jacket to the airline/Nay rank on the sleeve look, real bad--I didn't buy that one and was changed again. I work in an organization that has all three US services and 7 international nations--many odd-looking uniforms.
And agree, not hiding from or blending in anywhere. Of course, these designers have never been in the fight.
