Hate to intrude but minigundiplomat made 2 points. I don't agree with his first, but (as a civvie sitting snug and warm here in UK) I did find it surreal that the possibility of RMP's being concerned over the wearing of faded combats. If that topic IS in the series, I do worry about what the priorities are for the guys actually at the sharp end fighting on our behalf not being distracted by concerns about the state of the uniforms.
Happy New Year to all on operations, and make it back safe, please.
