#5 Finally we get a uniform that does not cost a hundred bucks a month to keep clean and starched. But not to worry, I sat some General from the Pentagon the other day in a set that the patches were sewn on and they were crisp, I assume starched if not ironed. It probably wont be long before they approve starch for parades and it will creep back in.

#8 As the senior officers are fond of saying, this uniform was designed by the senior NCOs to incorporate exactly these characteristics. The days of breaking starch are over.
