That's my view of it as well. Then again this issue is so low on my priority list I'm not going to spend any time worrying about it. This truly is the "me, me, me" generation.I believe something like this happened in the Army a few years ago.
In my eyes a uniform is a uniform. When you signed up you signed up to wear a cover/cap/hat of said branch/organization. The reason we have uniforms is simple, UNIFORMITY!!!!
I guess I'll start a religion where I can wear red shoes in my Navy dress blues.
