A little respect for the military uniform..  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 92/100. maribel1218 (1827)   ranked 1 out of 25 in military 5 years ago

I've seen various fashion magazine and some man and woman who wears military uniform as a form of fashion statement.
They just wear the uniform as if they are wearing some custome on halloween or a custome party I'm not against fashion or any sort of new trends in our society but what bothers me is that the uniform that supposedly be a sign of a pride to our brave soldier are just being wear without a little respect out of it.
I have high regards to all men in uniform because I myself is a navy reservist here in my country and always ready to serve when my duty calls for it. Military men and women sacrifice so much to earn the right -the privilege - to wear their uniform.
It is technically illegal for an unauthorized person to wear a military uniform or any recognizable piece of the uniform. The only exception: actors and actresses in a "theatrical setting or movies".
I really knew I will raise many eyebrow on this discussion but some of us really don't know how valuable the uniform for the military, police, FBI, CSI or even professional doctor and nurse to see thier uniform wearing in a disgrace manner.


Give respect to men who really deserved it.

I really think in every organization there is good and bad and when we talked about the uniform it doesnt deal alone with a certain individual but the whole organization in general.

Thanks martianwoman.

Those who wish to use a military uniform as a fashion statement, should be required to earn that right by fighting for their country. Or, by putting their lives on the line. That goes for anyone wearing any type of law enforcement uniform. I think they have no right to wear it as a fashion, until they have earned it. This is most disrespectful of those who put their lives in harms way on a daily basis.

Here in my country you can really see how military uniform was widely abuse. They are sometimes a dance outfit or a sexy outfit.

I really felt for some officers who share the same sentiment with mine for that was part and parcel of thier life that was the very sign of thier identity that is why it was called a uniform.

you are certainly correct sigma thanks!!

Sometimes some individuals really doesn't know how to value someone's pride and duty. They are just wearing the said uniform for the sake of wearing it.

thanks clasy!!

I agree with you. My father and both of my brothers served in the Navy, and I grew up with a strong sense of pride in the Military. In fact, my new job is going to be at a Veteran's Hospital- can you even think of a more deserving patient population to serve? Them Military uniform is a symbol for what the men and women of the Armed Forces have done and will continue to do to serve our country and to keep us safe. This is to be admired and respected. I agree that people outside of the Military should not be allowed to wear the uniforms as a fashion piece or for any other reason. If they want to wear the uniform, they should join the Military and serve the country.


myLot reputation of 92/100. maribel1218 (1827)   ranked 1 out of 25 in military  5 years ago

Congratulation for a new noble job in the veterans hospital that was a great place to render service.

Some individuals should really learn some good ethical issue concerning wearing military uniforms for it is not a ordinary dress it was IDENTITY to brave man who fought for our country.

thanks laurie.

i do agree,we have stores here that sell used military clothes and supplies. i think every one around here has some type of military clothing. i will say my two oldest sons have there own ACU's and did wear them for halloween. the are just like daddy's with names tapes and all. my oldest son loves his cuz they are like daddy's. he wears his the way they are supposed to be wore with boots and all witch alot of people don't. my oldest has to have all army and army camo cuz thats what his daddy does. it makes his dad feel good but there are others that really put the uniform to shame.


myLot reputation of 92/100. maribel1218 (1827)   ranked 1 out of 25 in military  5 years ago

Certainly true aretha.

One quote that really leaves a mark on my mind during my military training was "WEAR YOUR UNIFORM WITH PRIDE"
and for me that means really something.

Thanks.

Well thats definitly one way of looking at it but I didnt raise my kids to believe in wars and all of that so I dont say nothing when they decide to where camo or something. I totally agree with you when it comes to the really uniforms but if your talking about the fake ones sold in shopping centers come on whats really so bad about it. I really find no problem with it.

O agree with you to a certain extent. I think that people who do wear a recognizable piece of the uniform must respect what it means.
Case in point - John Cena, a WWE Wrestler. I've seen him wear a camoflage cap on quite a few occasions - but I know he has a LOT of respect for the military. He's attended some one day training courses with them and he said he has so much more respect for what they go through in order to have the right to wear the uniform.
I believe that most people do have respect for the uniform. It's not all about making a fashion statement.

I do really high regards with some action man like john cena most man do really love the military.

I can't really say that some individual used it because they respect it I really seen lots of individual wearing it just like any ordinary dress in a ordinary event which is not supposed to be.

But I really appreciate your view and I do respect it.

Thanks retardedrugrat!

Yes I have seen fashion magazine and models where the military uniform for fashion, this is wrong as they should show more respect for people that fought for our countries. My parents were both in the army forces and they would be applaud if they could see how these people are wearing them for fun when they fought so hard so that we could live in a peaceful world.


myLot reputation of 92/100. maribel1218 (1827)   ranked 1 out of 25 in military  5 years ago

I really agree with you kathy.

Sometimes individual treat the uniform as a joke and even the business establishent who sell it as a ordinary form of dress. There are individuals who really don't know the value of what military mission in our country that they take it for granted it's main IDENTITY.

thanks.

That in my book is disgraceful. Our soldiers fight to keep our country free and the uniform stands him apart from others in a way that says this person is helping to keep our country free. What a slap in the face to have just anyone being able to wear it and they not even been in a war zone. It makes a mockery out of our military services. That is the highest form of disrespect. I don't think it should be allowed.


myLot reputation of 92/100. maribel1218 (1827)   ranked 1 out of 25 in military  5 years ago

That was same thought with mine and I'm wondering why those some business establishments and other fashion retailers are allowing this things to be sale to market without really realizing the value of the military uniform.

thanks sunshinelady.

You sure have a good point and I agreed with you! I too always look at those fully dressed up military member with lots of respect and see them as our angel guard of our country. By the way,I love those airforces uniform so much.

thanks gsl! I really do respect the military uniform for I really knew that the only person who have the rights to wear it are the person who really knew the value of it.
