After WW1, traditional "let's meet and fuck each other up" type warfare was gone. People realized that war was headed in a new direction - adjustments needed to be made. No longer was the uniform just a uniform, it needed to have a function in battle. Hence, why most uniforms are simply camo and boots. They serve a purpose in battle - to not stand out, to match your comrades, and to last. It's not a fashion show, like before, where everyone had colorful uniforms with meaning to each piece. Now we, rightfully, focus on keeping our troops alive.

Can you imagine how poorly any modern war would have gone if everyone still wore those flamboyant uniforms that weighed a ton?

>> No.14274419

>>14274375
This has nothing to do with the question.
Uniforms have always been function first, form second. And then they always entered fashion.
Tee shirts, chinos, suits and coats were all military uniform that now became so ingrained as staples because of their utilitarian value.
Post WW1 you have Doc Marteens, M65 jacket, Aviator sunglasses amongst dozens of other styles entering widespread civilian usage.

Actually rangers are members of the 75th Ranger Regiment. They're the ones that wear the tan beret. They're a special operations force. On their uniform they wear a patch of a scroll saying 75th Ranger Regiment as their unit patch.

Tabbed rangers means they went to Ranger school, which is a leadership course. It's a pretty intense course but anyone in the army can go to it if their unit sends them. A truck driver can go to Ranger school, though it's usually officers and infantry personnel. They get a tab patch they wear on their uniform that says Ranger.

Going to Ranger school=\=being an actual Ranger. Only being a member of the elite 75th Ranger Regiment means you're a ranger.

Also, the army guy in the pic doesn't have a ranger tab, he's just a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, that's an airborne tab on his uniform, not a ranger tab.

I'm sorry, but that's just silly, I think your insight into medieval warfare must come from popular culture. This isn't the right venue for a detailed discussion of this topic, but still.
There were never any formal or informal agreements for forces to meet at the battlefield, most battles during the middle ages were sieges, since if either side saw that a battle was to their disadvantage, they'd retreat, preferably into a fortified position. Pitched battles thus occurred if both sides thought they had the upper hand, or more usually when one side had maneuvered itself into a favorable position where a battle was inevitable.
An example of this would be the battle of Agincourt, where a smaller English army was desperately trying to get away from a larger French one, but the French managed to outmaneuver the English and attack them.
Or the battle of Hastings, where the Normans had landed in Sussex, and needed to go from there to London to secure the kingdom, but the English set up a defensive line on a hill on the road to London thereby blocking their path, and thus forcing the Normans to either give up and turn back to France, or engage the English in a defensive position that was to their advantage.

The only time in history that happened was in the trenches, every other time people tried to pick terrain good for them and baited or forced the other side's hand.

And this isn't even going into ambushes, which are by definition only picked by one side.

They’re only for function today and a lot of soldiers wear baggy uniforms because it helps with the heat in the desert.

Uniforms often were functional.
German uniforms from WW1 to WW2 are a good example.

They were functional, the field grey colour was attractive but still blended in.

Their jackboots were sturdy, protective and long lasting yet compliment the figure, look masculine and attractive.

Helmets were distinct, and after the introduction of the Stahlhelm in 1916, were well suited to stopping shrapnel and bullets.

The uniform fit was good too, the pants were loose but not too bad looking, and the jacket was form fitting.

Uniforms are cut hideously today and are just made from thin fabric, likely to save cost and time in production.

The trenches didn't form by any kinds of consensus tho, they basically formed because Germany on the one hand said "well, they've stopped our advance, but if we did in here they'll me forced to expend themselves trying to attack us", and the allies saying "we're not giving up any more land", and pushes were usually accompanied by some measure to draw the enemy forces away form the sector of the push, or incapacitate or overwhelm the troops in the sector.

>>14278081
There is absolutely no photographic or anecdotal evidence to show that, to the contrary photographs show troops wearing jackboots long after they'd stopped being issued and replaced by lowboots, and garrison forces used their jackboots up until the end of the war. In fact the troops lamented having to switch over to the lowboots, Karl-Heinz Zimmerman who was a recruit in 1943 recalled:
"When my brother came home on leave he clomped around the house in those nice boots. I would polish them for him. Those boots were one of those things which separated a soldier from a civilian; they were the trademark of a Deutscher Soldat. When I went into the Army, they gave me a pair of lace-up boots like workman's shoes and a pair of gaiters. We all sat around with these things, looking at them like they were some sort of ladies' wear. We were disappointed. They made us look like a bunch of Tommies."

warfare in feudal Europe was overwhelmingly one side sitting in a castle and the other side camping around it until one side runs out of food or disease killed enough to make any possible victory pyrrhic.

On the rare occasion that armies met in the field it was almost always because 1 was pursuing the other. It's usually fairly obvious which side will win, although sometimes there are legendary upsets (Agincourt of course).

It's very rare for 2 sides to both think they have the upper hand and willingly engage with each other, and especially rare to fight solely to destroy the enemy army (ie, in the field instead of 1 side defending a town or city).

For all of history including modern history, the vast majority of the time 1 side is defending a town, and they aren't fighting because they want to.
