Eh, style is always a part of it when you're talking about the dress uniform -- and hell, even the "combat" uniform. I've never heard more whines out of the Air Force than when McPeak changed the uniform to make us look like we all worked for American Airlines or British Airways or when the AF tried to put some blue in their service-unique uniform (which would have camo'd up well against my carpet but not in the Real World) along with a wide freaking belt.
Still, I don't see why they're changing the hat -- there's nothing I can see in the Obama directive that would have kept them from just making a women's hat that looked more attractive on women while keeping the men's hat traditional. Does this mean the AF is going to start making men wear buckets too?
