Tonight I am going to tell my wife

But if you want to make a diference on the battlefield, there is only one job for you.

Infantry win battles, support personnel win wars.

Amateurs discuss tactics; dilettantes, strategy; but professionals talk about logistics. 

The logistics of how to supply fuel and firebombs for our air forces, perhaps.

Cooks are the most important part of the military.

My Great Grandfather was an army cook during WWI.  Didn't stop him from fighting (or getting shot).

I know cooks with CABs (Combat Action Badge)
They got shot at while traveling in some convoy.
Appearenly they shot back.
One of them even got a Purple Heart, when got wounded by shrapnell from a mortar round that hit the mess hall in FOB Falcon, Baghdad.
They were very proud of their exploits.

I see they are ditching the black beret.

I see they are ditching the black beret.

In ACUs, will still be used for the service uniform (or if the local commander has a beret fetish).

Thank God.  That was hideous.  The older cap was much better.

Don't know how they were organized in 1918, but I think was a higher percentage of men thrown into the fight.  Tactics were a bit different then, and the US wasn't on the cutting edge of tactics at the time.  I think they tended to still throw waves of men at the enemy.

Good. Seems over all that soldiers are happy about this. I never liked the idea of a beret as the cap for all/most personnel.

Those waves of men consumed tons and tons of food, water and fuel on a daily basis, at the end of a very long supply line.
