The following is an opinion piece by Sergeant Major of the Army Raymond F. Chandler III.

You know what soldiers? I'm sick and tired of this crap.

You want to keep complaining about having to wear reflective belts? You don't like that you have to wear the thing in Afghanistan in the middle of a combat zone? It's not 'cool' to have to put that on your uniform, you say.

Well, you know what? Screw it. Everyone's going to wear three of the flippin' things at all times.
