so this begs the question - do we design new uniforms to make people happy or keep the fully functional ones we've had for years and keep with our history, culture, and traditions? NWU fits none of these. Khaki shirts and black pants?

The only ones who seem to have their heads out of their assholes are the Marines, and it sounds like their are having their own issues to deal with.
As to the uniform issue. Again, I don't get it. The purpose of a working uniform is to work. That's it.
Anyway to stand out and make ourselves different from everyone else.
Hell nobody has trouble finding you in civies. Just look for the braided belt, cockroach runway haircut, and dip lip.
What the Marine Corps has done by sticking an EGA on everything they wear/use and then screaming when somebody else touching it is the military equivalent of a 5 year old licking all the M&Ms so nobody else can have any.
And don't forget the jorts...
You never forget the jorts! Sadly, the ubiquitous polo shirt has gone by the wayside, replaced with over-sized Ed Hardy threads (usually purchased at the MCX).
A good Marine also has a desert McDigi-knockoff backpack with him at all times.
That color is actually called "Air Superiority Gray".Im personally waiting for when the Air Force comes out and tells all the other services that they cant paint their aircraft Grey. That is their color and they've been doing it and need people to easily identify their Jets on the battlefield as Air Force jets.... But that wont happen because everybody would laugh at them for acting like retards.
"Air Superiority Grey".
Both spellings are correct - I was unable to find a definitive spelling of the AF color before posting (there are links for both "Air Superiority Grey" and "Air Superiority Gray" on the 'net)...mebbe Hacker15 can give me the official USAF pantone color name...I think it's safe to say that this is / will be the gayest thing I have heard / read in all of 2011.
Also, fixed it for you.
