With all due respect to your arguement MikeL, police officers and rent a cops, ski lift operators to belayers, everyone has a uniform, and an earned one at that, but many of us wear them to immitate for sport or game, like airsoft and paintball, or for an event, ball, gala, halloween? I think it's just apples and oranges when it comes to our forces because those are uniforms that are given thru rigorous training and dedication, in comparison to oh say...a ski lift operator. Sure! they wear grouse mountain, or whistler blackcomb, because they know the drills, the safety etiquette, and all the hooha...but they dont put their life on the line when another country comes knocking. It's all hype, and to each their own IMHO.
i see both sides, tho. sockmonkey...is....troubled. dont get too overzealous over what he says.
