Badger Six says the new velcroed blue-gray Army Combat Uniform isn’t up to the job and the cotton-poly material can even be dangerous in a fire:
"…patches are much more likely to be lost now that they can be easily removed. And, more obviously, Velcro repair kits are beginning to appear in the exchange shops – a tacit admission the Velcro does not last. Instead of shelling out cash to put new patches on the blouse, Soldiers now have to buy new Velcro to replace the material that failed."
They also should ditch the beret. Let the Euros look like Frogs. We should return to our distinctive garrison caps.
