Nope, you lose...
The most retarded thing was the Black Berets...
2nd most was the ACUs.
3rd was the Greens retired and the Blues modified.
No one cares about the Cav... I mean really, most means of 21st Century transportation do not respond to spurs, unless you are kicking a Private.

Clearly there is only one mode of headgear that properly respects the Army's long history.

Burqa's and Hijad's for all... to celebrate the POTUS favorite culture and commemorate our time in the Middle East!
Maybe in 2021 we can have pink berets with rainbow flash for the ten year anniversary of the repeal of DADT!
