Rangers Black Beret

[Castro]

I am just wondering why would the Army do that, that beret has been like a tradition for a very long time. Why can't they just use the khaki one.

They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Since all the leg units have decided to change their covers from caps to berets, we can all assume that they just wish they were us. Still, they could have chosen another color other than black.

Jody,
Who wears a black beret for night ops anyway? I always wore a 'booney hat'. Who knows though, maybe I did it WRONG??? Anyway, I agree - the tan beret should have been issued to the legs! Even a camo beret to go with the BDU's would have made more sense. Who am I to question though... just another dumb 'ol ex-lrp/ranger I suppose

Note: They are not called 'Berets' anymore. They are to be called 'Freedom Beanies' from now on.

Either that or just pronounce it Barrett...that always pisses off the French.
