I remember in the movie Sniper where the kid had "Gucci Flauge" and the older Marine sniper said "Can I see?" then tossed it out the train window. I've seen some guys try and uses some crazy (and dangerous) stuff.
I understand TOE. Regulations. The "Army Way."
And I recall not being able to wear the field jacket when an early norther blew in because Division Regs said you couldn't wear them until X date. In Korea we had Mickey Mouse boots that we couldn't wear when it was freezing, but instead were required to wear the overboots over our DPM boots. One guy got busted wearing some nice thinsulate civie boots under those.
What's all that to do with the price of tea in communist china? Nothing, except regulations serve a purpose to protect all the soldiers...and they don't always make sense.
