Dru Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 I think they stole the printed pattern from those 1990's "Magic Eye" books. If you unfocus your eyes you will see a floating image saying "resistance is futile" or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slothrop Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 WTF is up with the patches? Are they all velcroed on or something? The beret seals the deal. Ridiculous. The old hats were way cooler. Even my mom looked tough in one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markinore Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 The soldier looks so sad. It reminds me of when I worked in the operating room at the University of Iowa in the late '80s and they made us wear pink scrubs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squid Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Is that a camera mounted on that soldier's helmet? Does this remind anyone else of Letterman's old 'monkey-cam' gag? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotterdamerung Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Somehow they remind me of this... It is kind of funny how our uniforms have continually grown to mimic the Waffen SS style favored by the elite German Divisions in the 2nd World War. I doubt that is by coincidence either as most military people I know greatly admired the military arm of the Germans and their tactics. Despite a sick leader and a corrupt agenda the Germans of that era were no doubt the most decisive military power in modern history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite a sick leader and a corrupt agenda the Germans of that era were no doubt the most decisive military power in modern history. The Camouflage Smock of the Waffen SS, as well as the MP43 (first assault rifle) Shaped the face of modern war. And that's to say nothing of the V2 (ballistic missile), V1 (first cruise missile, ME262 (first jet fighter), and on....what do you expect from a nation of scientists and engineers?

johndavidjr Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Now wait, the S.S. was just the relatively small "political" unit of the military? They were the guys that did all the bad stuff, while rank & file Wehrmacht (nouns in G. capitalized) did the heavy lifting. Mustn't forget they all failed disasterously, with miserable destruction of German cities, due to blunders of leadership, Russian blood and U.S. capacity to make bombs & steel.

gotterdamerung Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 The Waffen SS was several divisions of hardcore frontline combat troops. Sort of like the Marine Corps or Ranger Regiment on steroids. They fought with great distinction on almost every front the Germans opened. There were portions of the SS that were involved in secret police activity, and used as concentration camp guards, but these guys are distinctly different than the WAFFEN SS. How can anyone forget they failed? If they hadn't you would be speaking deutsche right now and goose stepping to the office. Or maybe worse. I think everyone can agree that it's a good thing it didn't go that way for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
