What is needed?
I am an old guy who has worn starched fatigues, wash & wear fatigues, jungle fatigues, and the old sage green cotton flight suit. I don't anything about the current needs and what is wanted; my son was USMC in Iraq and I know the uniform they wear. I do watch, however, as the Army and USAF seem to spin their wheels and spend money over class A uniforms and countless variations of combat uniforms.
For the combat uniform, what is it that the guys on the ground actually need and want?
(Does the QM laundry still exist?)
