    First time I have ever seen that “Aussie-looking hat cover” on an Army soldier. As an article of regulation clothing, it makes the *Black beret* look, at least, reasonable. Otherwise—–it looks like something from a movie set……

    That’ll be the cav. And thankfully the black beret is dead.

    To all those out there doing their duty, thank you.
    We’re counting on you to stand between us and
    the forces of darkness and barbarism and despotism.

    Colonel, it looks like a Guy Falkner hat that someone fell asleep in.

    I jump on the silly Army cover too. Have you seen their new Class A?

    Mall Cops and Cowboys, oh my.

    Funning aside, Thanks to all who serve!

    I’m always overwhelmed at what they go through. And the way this regime treats them! Ba! And They want them to bow to them too! Sick frekos.

    This is just 2 examples that always grab my heart and respect for them all:

    COL Jerry: About that Aussie hat: the camo seems to be ours, but I can’t tell if they’re American soldiers (but what else could they be?).

    And let’s not get started on the UN beret. (I remember a case some years back where a soldier got thrown out for not wearing the UN hat.)

    But still, soldiers, Marines, sailors, airmen, coast guard – they’re all doing jobs we all know need doing, and are sure glad someone else is dong them.

    And check out the website: ourmilitary.mil.
