You cannot improve the morale of the force by just changing hats. I flew for an Airborne Aussie Unit known as the EMU's. They insisted I wear their maroon beret when in their compay area.
Lets be practical.
This piece of headgear served no useful purpose other than symbolic. Its hot in summer, doesn't shade your eyes, cold in winter, and soaks up rain like a sponge which ends up weighing about four pounds. It was the most impractical hat I've ever worn. Yet I know it means the world to those elite troops who have earned the right to wear a piece of history and tradition. Remember how ridiculous the Air Force looked in their airline pilot jackets with no rank.
