Army to bring back WWII-era uniforms in lieu of WWII-era victory

Filed · 1534

THE PENTAGON — The Army has announced plans to bring back WWII-era uniforms in lieu of WWII-era victory, Duffel Blog has learned.

The decision would improve morale and save the Pentagon money, defense officials said. It would also allow the Army to potentially recycle old uniforms for decades.

"With this system, we could keep this up for a long time," Col. Brandon Mumford said. "Soldiers can wear these snazzy things a few years, then bam! We swap them for Desert Storm ACUs. Saves us like, two or even three thousand dollars."
