I'm sure the uniforms are just meant to be a "symbol of unity, a symbol of ... excellence, a symbol of our values."

Pussified uniforms to symbolize a now pussified nation.
Sad.

They look ready to help you with your bags as you board the cruise ship.
Can someone set up a beret class for those kids?

the disgusting part of this whole fiasco is that I have to agree with Harry Reed and that makes me throw up in my mouth a little.
remember when the athletes came out wearing a red white and blue track suit that probably cost about $20.
why do they need a suit and tie now?

1. Congress needs to spend it's time doing it's job, not worrying about what the US Olympic Team is wearing. I'm outraged at Congress and request that they be burned at the stake!
2. If they want them burned then they should pay for replacements out of their own pockets, and cough up the dollars to replace the sponsorship dollars that Ralph Lauren has given to the US Olympics.

I'm cool with that - but lets assess them a 100% assets carbon tax first.

You sure they're made of the right stuff to even give off an emission?
Oh, ok, trackin'. We can charge them first, we'll find out what's in them later, after they've passed.

Made in China huh? Watch when those uniforms come apart after one cycle in the washing machine.
Might as well be made there though. What's made in this country anymore? I received a nice Barlow style pocket knife from the NRA and where was it made? Friggin' China!

I guess no one remembers the outrage over "Made in Japan" labels not long after the war with Japan.
I don't care where they were made, I'd still burn them.  At best, if the athletes are smart, they will yank off the berets and wave them at the spectators as they pass in review.
