With everything else going on in the world we have this
SPOT the Special Forces soldiers - they're the only ones in the berets.
The ABC reports today the Defence Force has banned Australian soldiers from wearing traditional berets.
Australian Defence Association spokesman Neil James told the ABC the ban would not apply for Special Forces or on ceremonial occasions.
The reasons for the ban include worries about exposure to the sun and ensuring the rightful place of the traditional slouch hat, Mr James told the ABC.
"Look I think it's a reasonably unpopular measure to an extent," Mr James said.
Mr James warned that wearing a slouch hat inside a tank could be problematic
