Ok Folks, I just wanted to test the waters and guage peoples opinions on the idea of subdued(black/green) unit flashes.
Duty rumour has it that these are soon going on issue to Infantry units as a way of "fostering corps identity" and "raising morale"(seriously?).
What do people think? A good idea or a waste of money.
My own personal opinion is that they are a retrograde move back to having all manner of badges on a DPM uniform which was meant to do away with that.
I think once we go down this route where does it end?Do we go back to wearing marksmans badges etc on the DPM's?
And if we are going to be forced down this road why oh why didn't the people who spec'd the new DPM uniform allow for said badges by including velcro on the smock to attach them to??
