Clearly a thread not needed, nazis had the best uniforms... maybe some of ther le ideals were a little to radical then but today if they were gathering christians up the left would love them
>>33928559
Tell me how you wasn't accepted into the army.
>>33928043
US state troopers have the best dress uniforms ironically
even better than our military uniforms now that we have abandoned khaki and greens
india has the color scheme down but the hats are just lol
I quite like the Germany Army dress uniform to be honest.
The Bundeswehr has some pretty slick uniforms through every branch.

They had all their shit destroyed by the Americans in '45 and '46
The then Americans were like "oh shit, the Russians, the japs need weapons to defend themselves with." So they rearmed them with American weapons because Jap industry wasn't recovered enought to rebuild their arsenal
That's why the JGSDF in the 50s looks exactly like the US Army in terms of weapons, tanks, helmets, etc
>>33928505
there needs to be more dress uniforms with polish cuirass-es

>>33928427
Muh tradtion as it always is with militaries
I vaguely recall during the napoleonic era, when hats were all the rage, some units had that style but never really caught on
Fast foward to around 1901 and some dude designing the first Australian uniform decided "you know what the soldiers who are defending one of the sunniest places on earth need, a hat that covers only half their head" and so the a badge of the armed forces has always pinned up the one side until people decided it was cool

Northern Union Officer's uniform. Sorry for the picture this is the best I could find.
>>33928107
the banners on the drums are an excellent touch
>>33932943
Fuck yeah
A dress uniform should just be a combat uniform that is clean.
Anything else is retarded cosplay.
>>33933035
the USMC looks damn fine
>>33933035
I 100% agree.
Dress uniforms, as they are now, are a wasteful uniform that has no other purpose but to look good on parade or in front of leadership and show off the useless trinkets on your chest.
And 99% of the time it sits in a vacume sealed bag in the back of the closet for when you or your unit fuck up, or because someone decided to say fuck it lets do a random inspection instead of our actual job.
The dress uniform needs to go and whatever service uniform you have should be what is used instead (albeit a much cleaner well kept one)
>>33933035
>>33933974
Sounds pretty gay if you ask me.
It's funny whenever a thread like this comes up Luftwaffe Officer's uniform never ever gets mentioned.

They really need to have their ceremonial stuff holding Enfields instead of that ugly rifle, especially with that weird leather condom on it.
Even the muhreens do ceremony with the Garand. Wooden rifles just look nicer in that context.
>>33928116
Unique hats with history are better than generic peaked caps and berets 100% of the time
>>33934265
But the marines have an infinitely more aesthetic uniform that ISN'T dress blues
>>33934398
rather have the Green's

Its so they wouldn't knock off their hats when shouldering rifles in formation, dingus. It started as an informal practice and was officially adopted in 1903.

That is sort of what the swiss army is doing. We have three uniforms: a working one (Tenü C), one which serves as some kind of dress uniform (Tenü A) and a clean, nicer working uniforn worn with béret (Tenü B), pic related. This is also used for honour guards and defilees. And frankly, the Tenü A is disgusting.

I think there was a lot of "in our own image" going on as well. Dressing the Japs up in American-style gear was a good way of reminding them who was boss.
These new uniforms are particularly interesting in that they're the most visible statement of Japan's military identity since WWII. They've got a lot of callbacks to pre-WWII Japanese gear, and the white version in particular reminds me a lot of old-school IJN uniforms.
I'm a bit sad to see the old ones go, though. I've always liked that style, especially in green. (On that note, fuck the Army for switching to blue.)

They are also made from past purpose and tradition, not just from whatever is fancy and shiny. For example the photo I posted shows a Royal lancer wearing chainmail on his shoulders for obvious reasons.

It's the evolution of the Stahlhelm that was started in WW2. Requires less manufacturing, offers better protection from pistol rounds, winder brim to protect more of head, can lay down or look through something without needing to take off/reverse helmet.

They ain't West Point, they ain't Annapolis. They're not even the fucking AFA.
They're literally no different than any other school with a ROTC program, apart from the colossal inferiority complex they have for not being real service academies.

I hear what you're saying and agree. Not sure what rifle Poland could use though.
Maybe the domestically produced Mauser variant. Only totally Polish rifle (designed and built) I know of would the Maroszek but those are extremely few in numbers and the Polish Government recently went to auction in the US to ensure they had one.
