Army's "New" WW2 uniform

[Indy62]

I guess I missed this..but the Army replaced their service uniform with the old World War 2 / Korean War uniform, the "pinks and greens". The change was announced in 2018 and has been rolling out to troops for the past three years.

I was watching the West Point graduation ceremony on youtube and saw this line of active duty wearing it and thought it was some sort of ceremonial flashback thing or honor guard....nope....it's their standard service uniform now.

Interesting. WW2 uniforms just in time for WW3. Makes sense if you think about it..morale and all that. Also a message to those countries thinking bad thoughts.
