Driving me crazy!


Why is it that not one TV show can get the Army beret right? This show has got to be the worst offender I've seen. Have the producers ever seen a soldier? Do they really think we wear mushrooms on our heads? They obviously just took a new beret off the shelf and stuck it on some extra. You have to shave down and shape a beret before it can be worn. Any private half way through Basic could tell you that. They could have taken an hour to at least TRY to make it less than glaringly obvious. Okay. My rant is over.

Berets look extremely gay at the best of times. But it's true that they could have done a better job with the props and actually made the berets sit more realistically.

Although personally I think they look slightly less homosexual when they aren't trimmed down to flop over the way they're supposed to.

Maybe the military should be taking it's ques from the film industry as far as fashion is concerned, and not the other way around.

I've had to wear a beret before....and sometimes still do. They are hideously ugly, effeminate-looking, make me think of the French and serve no actual protective function, whether it's from sun, rain, bullets, pointy sticks, mocking comments or anything else...apart from the obvious symbolism of wearing one, as in signifying SEARS specialists and whatnot they are useless and are the ugliest hats in all of creation.

I wore a beret as a Canadian Queen Scout (the US equivalent of Eagle scout or something like that) and there is no way to wear one of those things that makes them feel natural. Masculine or feminine, the beret is just another dumb idea from France.
