CO: Soldiers will wear Marine Corps uniforms to improve morale
FORT CARSON, Colo. — In an effort to improve morale within his unit, Army Col. David Hodne has ordered his soldiers to eschew wearing traditional Army uniforms laden with combat patches, jump wings, and other insignia. They will instead spend their time wearing Marine Corps uniforms.
“It’s a culture thing,” said Hodne. “Ours sucks.”
At first, Hodne was just going to do away with traditional Army patches as he didn’t want any of his new, inexperienced soldiers to think there were any standards to live up to or that they should strive to emulate their leaders in any way. Then it dawned on him there was no reason to embrace traditional Army culture at all.
