Lol...stumbled onto this threat while writing OPME stuff on Unification...how ironic.
As mentioned by J. Granatstein in his multiple writings, anti-Americanism is the secular religion of Canadians. I think there is a great deal of merit going back to a British-like Service Dress, as long as it isn't too British and our current uniforms are sold as looking too "American". In my opinion, our uniforms look like darker versions of the old US Army Service Dress, minus the weird bling. Personally, I hate the dark green DEUs after many a parade in the summer under a hot sun. The tan DEUs, while an awesome retro-disco uniform, at least mitigated the effects a little bit!
I don't see what's wrong with a khaki version of our current DEU cut. Rank insignia colours could remain identical to those in use now. The colour of the backing would be the only change. Officers would continue to use the cuff system of rank, as it's now identifiably Canadian and harkens back to the cuff embellishments used by the CEF. We should also go back to Sam Browne belts for officers and a heavy belt for NCOs, with infantry NCOs using the sash. Berets would remain the same as they are now. If the colour is right, we may still even get to continue using the Linden Green shirt.
Maybe this can be sold as a reward for the commitment in Afghanistan. Ultimately, it's something that has to be sold to the current government. Given that they've pushed to have the Red Ensign recognized as a symbol of Canada, and that they're waging an image war on that icky "Canada" logo with the stylized Maple Leaf, this is the chance to push the idea.
