My dad was Slovak!\n\nThe word you are looking for is "camouflage"  I looked up the definition in the dictionary for you.  Hope this helps!\n\n1)The method or result of concealing personnel or equipment from an enemy by making them appear to be part of the natural surroundings. \n2)Concealment by disguise or protective coloring. \n3)Fabric or a garment dyed in splotches of green, brown, tan, and black so as to make the wearer indistinguishable from the surrounding environment

The last I heard, they had approved a utility uniform that uses a pixelated pattern a la USMC MARPAT or ARMY ACU, but it is different in pattern and color.  I believe the chest pockets are still vertical (not slanted) among other differences from the other guys.  They did ditch the corny blue tiger stripe thing, though.\n\nhttp://capblog.typepad.com/capblog/images/041008f5064j020.jpg

Usually in Africa...  But in Vietnam it was done when N Vietnam regimes pulled in. Did you ever hear of the killing fields?  Kids were massacring people after we pulled out of Vietnam.   Millions died.

Since this is military...I went to an Infantry course in California, and we had troops from all over the country go through it. One guy was from a unit that makes their guys wear these raggy strips of cloth in their helmets, so they all look like they have dreadlocks. This dude was really skinny and had this huge beak of a nose so naturally we called him Side Show Bob. He never ever seen the Simpsons before (thats crazy) so he was clueless at first why everyone called him that.

Here's some info-\n\n"Starting in 1820 Army company grade officers and Sergeants wore one chevron with the point up on each arm. The officers' chevrons were of gold or silver lace, depending on the wearer's branch of service. Captains wore their chevrons above the elbow while Lieutenants wore theirs below. Sergeant Majors and Quartermaster Sergeants wore worsted braid chevrons above the elbow while other Sergeants and Senior Musicians wore theirs below. Corporals wore one chevron on the right sleeve above the elbow. By 1833 the Army and Marine company grade officers had stopped wearing chevrons and returned to epaulettes as rank insignia. Sergeants of the Army dragoons then began wearing three chevrons with points down and Corporals two. All other NCOs wore cloth epaulettes to show their rank. From 1847 to 1851 some Army NCOs wore chevrons with the points up on their fatigue uniform jackets but still used cloth epaulettes on their dress uniforms. After 1851 all Army NCOs wore chevrons with points down until 1902 when the Army turned the points up and adopted the patterns used today, two chevrons for Corporals, three for Sergeants and combinations of arcs and other devices beneath the chevrons for higher grades of Sergeants."

Communism is the buzzword.  But really its called Imperialism.\nWars outside of national soil are for greed and pride.\nKorea and Vietnam did not represent a threat to the US.  Not until they decided to attack first.

The only thing I can think of that would be style related and not the store would be the Navy Pea Coats.\n\nPea Coat\nSailors who have to endure pea-soup weather often don their pea coats but the coat's name isn't derived from the weather. The heavy topcoat worn in cold, miserable weather by seafaring men was once tailored from pilot cloth — a heavy, course, stout kind of twilled blue cloth with the nap on one side. The cloth was sometimes called P-cloth for the initial letter of "pilot" and the garment made from it was called a p-jacket — later, a pea coat. The term has been used since 1723 to denote coats made from that cloth.

Hard to say.  Before it was Viet Nam it was French Indo China and the Viet Namese (CONG) were called the Viet Minh after Ho Chi Minh.  Casualty estimates posted above do not include those killed in the Pre-USA invlovement may not include Americans that were there as "advisors", civilians, Cambodians, Laotians, Chinese, and Russians.  The numbers are apalling
