I was APPALLED when the whole Army went to the Black MushRoom!
I felt, and still feel,

regular Army Units could ever stand up to.
I only hope that the change requires that all Service Persons that DID NOT earn a Ranger Patch can NOT wear a Black Beret ever again!

Give respect where respect is due!

Unfortunately no. The black beret remains part of the new Class A Dress Blue uniform. The Rangers will keep their tan ones I guess. Not that I imagine they'd want the black one back either.

So you're a Paratrooper Privateer?
