I'm surprised the former cavalrymen here aren't all over this.

Hmmmm, considering that the Army is getting rid of the dress Greens, and replacing it with Blues, there has been talk of going back to the peaked cap.
I'm surprised (pleased) but surprised that they decided to go with the Stetson.
But it still has to be approved (and funded)....The reason that the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis. -

Make that anyone even considering wearing a Stetson!If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.
Nothing happens in isolation - it's called "the butterfly effect"

i was thinking a brigade 12 HE followed by WP.Originally posted by Panther Al View Post
ranger may wimp out on loseing their distinctiveness but theres a reason the cav almost got disbanded 4 times.the best course of action when all is against you is to slow down and think critically about the situation. this way you are not blindly rushing into an ambush and your mind is doing something useful rather than getting you killed.Comment

Oh, I see how you are. But you have to admit anyone with the balls to wear one in the field regardless of the type of unit would play with the minds of the enemy. Leaving the people who seeing wonder if the person(s) wearing them are just crazy or simply playing the mind games that military units have played for years.Originally posted by Panther Al View Post
Regardless if it UK playing bagpipes or the headgear games, especially since it ironic that most Parachute units in NATO seem to have the maron beret in common. It is also why Rangers until some nut job decided the entire US Army wore black beret and US Special Forces wore the green ones.
One has to remember stories that both side told their troop to hopeful keep them in line. Like the story that was posted here about the 1st PG War when troops were told that they were up against American forces drawn from their European contingent and how they were shocked they hadn't returned in 2003...lol
Besides in almost every war type movie there some nut job of Colonel who insist on wearing one...lolComment

So would the horse cavalry based in Europe wear them...lolComment
