'If it ain't broke': Why are Army uniforms so bad ?

Foreign Policy
"Last summer I saw a Washington Post article about the House's approval of a measure to have all the military services use the same camouflage pattern on their battle dress.
"I applaud that decision, and it got me thinking about uniforms and uniform changes in general and, in particular, those of my service, the Army, which seems to be 1) always changing its uniforms and 2) getting a uniform that is worse than its predecessor. In this regard, I have to admit a certain jealousy of my colleagues in the Marine Corps. I'm no expert, but I believe that the "jarheads" have, basically, had the same uniforms since WWII."
