Pictures that I've seen had soldiers wearing combat uniforms. I was wondering, shouldn't they be wearing service uniforms or something? They looked kinda dumpy. I don't know what to make of it.
The nationalistic/jingoistic Pavlovian response in the American chud is not activated by seeing soldiers in service uniforms, it’s activated by seeing them in fatigues. If you look at the propaganda, it’s almost always troops in combat uniforms, very rarely will they be in service uniforms.
I think it goes back to the mythos of Washington’s army being this ragtag of volunteers in plainclothes beating the royal military in their bright red uniforms. It creates an expectation in the minds of Amerikkkans that the military should look a little dumpy.
