THE PENTAGON — Following a recent revelation that the terrorist organization ISIS plans to target US military members, officers especially, the Department of Defense is requiring troops to choose clothing which will better blend in with the general population during off-duty hours.
In particular, DOD has banned khaki or pastel shorts for all military officers. Sperry shoes and pastel collared shirts have also been forbidden.
"This is about the safety of the force as a whole," said Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook. "We absolutely do not want terrorists to have a clear indication of one’s military affiliation while not in uniform.”
