   If our military today was swarming with costume designers, we'd probably   
   be seeing new Navy and Army looks every other week.   
      
   The Air Farce would be switching things up every three to five days.   
      
   And the Marines would look at the costume designers and say, "Get the   
   f%#$ away from us."
