\"Sleeves<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Chief Tango sends us a link to the Washington Post in which they analyze the Army’s decision to roll up sleeves on their combat uniforms entitled Guns out: Why the Army moved to allow rolled sleeves for soldiers<\/a>. I don’t understand why it’s such a huge issue. Either do it, or don’t.<\/p>\n

The practice was banned for years. Then there was a pilot program. The results were studied closely. And on Tuesday, the Army made its big decision: Rolled sleeves on camouflage uniforms are now completely acceptable.<\/p>\n

The move gives a stiff-arm to recent history, in which the Army was the only Pentagon service that did not allow rolled sleeves, even in the hot summer months at places such as Fort Hood, Tex., and Fort Benning, Ga.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“The results were studied closely” – probably more closely than our participation in the war against terror.<\/p>\n

The decision comes less than a year after Milley took over as Army chief and Dailey took over as his top enlisted adviser. Although it has no effect on operations, it\u2019s the kind of cultural change that can endear senior leaders to their troops.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, the troops will forgive their leaders for collapsing to pressure from the politicians to cut their housing allowances, doing away with commissaries, jacking up their healthcare costs, changing their retirement options, not giving them a cost of living allowance for the past four years, but now they can roll up their stupid sleeves. Yay!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
