OT:You'd think that the Army would take a hint and leave the black berets to the men who deserve it.

It will be met by U.S. suppliers instead and the true black hats will have to switch to tan. What a joke. In the new Army a clerk typist will look like a Ranger and a Ranger will like like a Parisian street side crepe vender.

Don't understand why the Army just couldn't issue another color to rest of the corps? My old ...
neighbor was a retired Captain from the Rangers ... I can imagine that he's really pissed.

I heard it on the news last night and was hoping the China order cancellation would....
make them change their minds. Instead, according to the news blurb they are going to buy American and move forward with it anyway. :| I know it is not as important as drink recipes, but it is somewhat meaningful anyway.

You must have me confused with someone that shares drink recipes here...
I actually said that because I WANTED you to share a web link if you had it because I was curious how it was going down.
Anyway, it is a stupid idea. I mean, who wants to **** off an Army Ranger?

Yeah, I was poking fun at the drink stuff. I actually have a 'Dim Mak' to add to the list....
I am concerned about the beret issue as well. The Army will look like Saddam's Republican Guard because of a PR marketing decision made by someone who probably has never had to pull the trigger as a patriot.
