New uniforms for Army: throwback to WWII style

What do we think of the new look AGSU? Is it nostalgia for The Greatest Generation in these uncertain times really the image we want to project?

It's not that drastic of a change. I like the current color better.

reminds me of the first season of Wonder Woman

I like it. Reminds me of a (possibly apocryphal) time when Americans pulled together for the common good.

What are AGSU and ASU?

Glad they are going back to Army green but those hats look fucking ridiculous...and Russian.

Nostalgia is a dangerous thing.

Difficult colour, green… very tricky.

Those hats look like they're from WWII also.

Unfortunately, the other side was wearing them in black...

That pointed tip in front vs. the more rounded older hats.

How much is this going to cost taxpayers?

AGSU, Army Green Service Uniform and ASU, Army Service Uniform.

Apparently the rollout goes base by base with some places not getting the new uniforms until next year.

It’s the hats. Waaaay too Nazi/Soviet. I don’t think American troops during WWII were this exaggerated.

Hate the color, who's bright idea was this?

I don’t know. Does the military redo their uniforms every ten or twenty years or so?

Very communist Chinese looking

Those hats are straight up North Korean!

Since we're back to fighting Nazis, it makes sense to look the part.

by Anonymousreply 16July 25, 2020 5:06 AM

Looks great!

by Anonymousreply 17July 25, 2020 5:46 AM

I think they are JUST LOVELY

Those Russian-style hats should make Trump feel more at ease.

Not a fan of the new color scheme. Who's the new Quartermaster General, another scheming crony of Trump?
