that integrated with the combat uniform, to a civilian JC Penny business man look to now what amounts to a door mans outfit. What's next, a clown suit?
If the dark cloud that is the end of DADT has a silver lining it is that maybe, just maybe, the troops will finally get a really sharp looking dress uniform. A little "Queer Eye for the Army Guy" as it were.
In that light it is also interesting to note that both the Navy and the Marine Corps have
always had good looking dress uniform.
