Why would unique uniforms matter now that we have digital/radio communications, so commanders do not need a visual method of distinguishing their own troops? Not to mention the loss of battle lines, shifts towards asymmetric warfare etc.

They don't matter they're just aesthetic as fuck
>>1295833
National pride. To be honest, sometimes it sucks to be an American when we have a shitty anthem, shitty flag, ugly ass military uniforms and just terrible aesthetics all around.
"Unique uniform" is an oxymoron. No uniform is unique since all of the soldiers in that army wear it

Well, you can still easily recognize the modern US soldier by his insistence that this pattern blends in every environment,
>>1296187
Lets even add his more noticeable Chinese counterpart.
>>1296187
It doesn't need to, it just has to confuse from a distance and make it hard to point out details like:
"What's this guy's center mass?" While he's moving.

>tfw Warhammer 40 000 Space Marines have better camo..
Swedish camo looks great.
>>1296187
I remember talking to an officer in the (Canadian) military who mentioned that plain khaki / olive uniform is actually better than any camo pattern because you can generally dirty it up to fit in any environment as you go. But despite several field tests proving this, the army kept insisting they wanted fancy digital camouflage until logistics caved and just gave them what they wanted.
The wrong side won WW2 or Hugo Boss worked for the wrong country
>>1296217
It looks fine. Fractal patterns are cool as hell because they provide camouflage at any scale.
>>1296254
Boss was a manufacturer (like most), not a designer but yeah they're still top tier aesthetically. Not that comfy for fighting in mind.

>>1296279
In the grand scheme of military uniform history, it's honestly not that big of a change. I think that's what more autistic anons are trying to say.
Don't you just hate it that world militaries narrowed their search for the objectively superior uniform design and settled on similar designs? I wish they had stuck with the awful uniforms.

What about 2004 Marines, though? MARPAT was already in use by then and they didn't need the woodland MOPP suits since there was no risk of chemical weapon attacks.
We're both nitpicking, but at the end of the day there hasn't been a HUGE leap between Vietnam-era battledress and today's gear.

This is why America is losing, because plebs can't into strong aesthetics that have global appeal which is indicative of a regressive people. How can you push the envelope in science or technology when you can't even tell if someone looks tasteful or not?
It's always going to be the autists like Steve Jobs that will carry this nation.
>>1296318

>>1296304
Vietnam was when the US switched from plain olive drap to actually using camoflage.
And interesting thing is also asking people how they picture a typical American soldier from the Vietnam war, where one half picks M1 helmet and poorly fitted olive drap wearing teenager with a mix of new M16A1, M60s and WW2 leftovers and the other half thinks of boonie or headband wearing operaters in tiger stripes, with camo face paint and a mess of proto M4s and cut down LMGs.

It doesn't matter what appeals to some elite asshole in the Middle East. What matters is what appeals to a US soldier's need to kick that guy's ass every couple decades.

I'm weirdly conflicted about Rhodesia, I like their songs and can't help rooting for them just for the sheer amount of stuff they had to put up with an the absolute madman approach to keeping their nation alive, and I can't honestly fault them for not wanting to bend over. But at the same time I think Cecil Rhodes was a massive cunt who single handedly started the Boer wars and helped set up the national party for government entirely out of personal ambition and greed, and before you go:
>helping the national party
>bad thing
I believe apartheid made niggers of Africans that might have turned out different had they not been shit on for so long, granted of course, I have no way of knowing, but regardless, Rhodes' motivation for supporting apartheid seems to have stemmed largely from needing them as a strategic ally, rather than actually holding any belief in apartheid being the right thing, seeing as he had no problem employing and treating African workers well prior to the whole thing.

zip tied pecs are not an odd occurrence. They are just a fail safe.
-everything else is spot on though
Different camouflage patterns are still interesting. Not as interesting, but still interesting.

>>1296038
Our anthem is an aquired taste (it was originally written as a poem set to a bar shanty it wasnt written for, get over yourselves), the flag is pretty decent, and we could only afford pretty uniforms long after their extinction.

>>1298407
I think he means the idea of using a camouflage pattern rather than just a solid color for camouflage.
If we are at war you frilly uniform pansys can wear your useless ornate steel helmets, colourful tassels and bright shirts and we can shoot you from two continents away.

Completely practical. I'm not going to expect men to dress like Steve Rogers and make targets of themselves. Our dress uniforms are top notch.

It was a British theorist iirc but wasn't the Wehrmacht the first to employ field camo? I know the marines had it in the pacific but the German paratroopers were camoflauged too.
>>1298441
They don't operate enough in the field for it to matter. Necessity breeds change. Otherwise it's not worth the logistical challenges. The US was using ucp which worked in the Afghan mountains into Iraq for years until they switched to totally-not-multicam.
>>1296038
You're anthem ain't bad, you're flag either, but your military uniforms are just disgusting.
Your UCP Camos are fucking stupid, and your Army Service Dress is literally a modified business suit.

>People actually like the American national anthem
It's an earsore, way too busy and not nearly stirring enough. We also have a problem of singers butchering it at sports games and graduation ceremonies and the like by making it even busier but that's more of a cultural issue than an issue with the songwriting itself, which is still bad.

There is a slight increase in resentment towards refugees but that is about it.
Of course if anyone can turn that into full blown fascism it is the Germans.

Yea, but not en masse and as front line troops.
Plus I'm pretty sure the Russians were pretty desperate, especially during the initial stages of their Great Patriotic War against the Germans.
>>1296038
The Battle Hymn of the Republic should be our national anthem, but you are so wrong about everything else.
