Which MILITARY UNIFORM is the best in history, in your opinion?

[GordoBarraBJJ]

Which military uniform is the best looking in the entire history of warfare, in your own opinion? I think the new US Army uniform looks pretty good:

This^^^^ uniform is like if they decided the general from the new star wars movies needed to be gay. To appease the GLBT crowd like Rey needed to be a mary sue to appease feminists.

come on. everybody knows it's the nazi uniform.
it doesn't get any better.
helps legit fashion people had a say in it, you can see it.

I loved BOPE black uniform

Now they changed it to baby shit green and it's horrible.

I have never heard of bope

 

[vcmmafan]

Those Service A’s are boring

Marine (enlisted) Dress Blues are the best along with the Nazi uniforms

But captured British soldiers that were Jewish were executed and put into camps, as well as other European soldiers that were Jewish what do you think the Jewish Brigade was made up of. And It was Rommel that ordered the arrest and internment of the Italians in 43 resulting in many of them dying in forced labor or starvation.

Source for that? I've never heard of Rommel being accused of war crimes against the British Army. Even Churchill, no fan of the Nazis - "If Hitler invaded Hell, I would make an alliance with the Devil himself" - acknowledged Rommel as a worthy opponent who, more or less, played by the rules.

Brazilian State Military Police unit. They specialise in going up against heavily-armed drugs gangs in the Favelas, and are regarded as one of the most aggressive and battle-hardend police units in the world. They have often been accused of extra-judicial executions.

If there's a real life version of Mega City Judges, these guys are it.

They could learn a thing or two from the Nazi's about uniforms but you gotta give some props to the Israeli girls

The Israelis are gonna win any competition for hottest military girls.

I met two of them on New Years Eve at a party in London, they said everyone has to do a compulsory two years in the defence force, total babes.

The Wehrmacht was pretty much absolved of involvement of any war crimes after the war and most of the blame was put on the SS and Nazi command. Rommel was also hyped up by British propaganda during the Africa campaign when he was a fairly average general at best, he was a great leader at a smaller tactical level though.

A lot of the Rommel Myths come after the war when the west was rebuilding the West German military and the needed propaganda figures to help the Germans rally behind something "Good" Also David Irving's book The Tail of the fox started a lot of the modern myths about Rommel. David Irving is a holocaust denier and all around Neo Nazi.

You got a source for your claim?

Self-restraint, even chivalry... distinguished the combatants on both sides throughout the North Africa campaign... The leading exemplar of this code was Rommel himself. When orders from Hitler mandated the execution of captured British commandos, Rommel tossed the document in the trash. He insisted that the Allied prisoners receive the same rations he was given. He even wrote a book about the conflict called Krieg ohne Haß (War Without Hate). Memoirs of the North Africa campaign attest that, fierce and brutal as much of the fighting was, relations between individual enemies retained a quality of forbearance that seems, today, almost impossible to imagine.

The book The jews of Libya Coexistence, Persecution, Resettlement talks about roughly 500 POWs fromt he British Jewish Brigade that were executed by soldiers from Afirka Korps. The Brigade was made up of people from all over Europe but that doesnt excuse the murders.

There are still all the other examples of of Rommel's army being involved with atrocities against people across North Africa both military and civilian. And it was not uncommon for other armies that had been fighting and involved in executions and persecutions against people on the Eastern Front to treat western POWs with respect.

Never heard of it. However, the Wiki entry on the Jewish Brigade states the total casualties during WWII was 83 KIA and 200 wounded. So someone is full of Fake News.

Wiki is talking about the one that was formed in 1944 and only fought in Italy probably. Wiki is not the best for casualty figures.

If you go to war wearing a skirt, you’d better be a tough bastard. There’s a reason the Germans called them “the ladies from hell”.

The jocks know how to fight.

Nazi SS for the men..

Israeli for the women...

Then provide a link to information about the Jewish Brigade you mentioned in your posts. Because the only one I can find any reference to is the one that was formed in '44.

I don't know which books you have been reading, but you are absolutely wrong about Rommel. He was one of the all time great Generals. Patton himself worshipped the man. Highly respected by the Allies for his tactics and the way he treated prisoners. The fact you don't know how he died tells me you don't know much about him. The guy was a brilliant tactician. Read his book 'Attacks', specially his years as an Infantry Lieutenant in WWI. He was never 'buddies' with Hitler. Hitler was his 'Commander-in-Chief'.

A thread could just be made about this guy. The guy was probably the most prolific bomber in history. If you made a movie about him, people wouldn't believe it.
