Patriotic rage!

If one more person tells me "Ooh, you dressed up as a Communist for Halloween!" I am going to [insert terrifying threat here that I cannot actually utter because the CIA might read this if I apply for a job there] Let's just say, SO HELP THEM GOD. In all fairness I understand that the uniform might look similar to a Soviet one, but it does say "U.S

I guess I can see where someone may think it's Soviet. That shade of green with the red makes me think Soviet right off the bat, in all honesty.

What uniform is it, exactly?

Hey, Cap'n, you're looking rather short again...xD

=^..^=~

Yeah, I definitely see where they're coming from; the star on the hat probably doesn't help matters either.

It's not an official US military uniform, it's just a cute little outfit that I found online on some costume shop. I am a huge supporter of the military so I thought it'd be cute if I wore it as a show of my support.

BUT APPARENTLY IT JUST SCREAMS COMMIE XD

Hehe, in his defense, my friend and I were both wearing really tall shoes. But he is on the short side. Shh :')

Yea, if you Google Soviet uniforms, you'll find a couple with that kind of vintage military green with red accents. American uniforms rarely have red, interestingly enough.

If it's really a concern, I'm sure you could modify it a bit. Particular pins, maybe change that star on the hat, easy stuff like that...

I believe that the British militia used to have red military uniforms, until they were completely slaughtered at a particular battle whose name currently escapes my mind. (Red is really conspicuous in a jungle background, whodathunkit?)

Well, I'm not going to wear the costume again, so that's that xD

....... Soviet? But the green and red and the star actually reminds me of one of China's military uniforms XD

But sheesh, c'mon people, dressing up in a costume doesn't always mean someone's practicing what the costume may (or may not) stand for, especially if it's for Halloween! How come no one complains when people dress up as a pastor or priest and claim that they are practicing Christianity/Buddhism because of that?

Other than that, you look awesome in the uniform :)

/inserts dark!Kiku icon and sees if anyone thinks I'm signing myself up for the next Imperial army.

Ha, that's an interesting point - I know some people who've dressed up as Jesus before P: It does look more Chinese than Soviet dat star. But thank you!

ahahhaa omg.

[charlzway]

Heh I've seen all those Jesus costumes too - but I dun recall anyone accusing them of being Christian (far from it I think xD). I guess people tend to forget it's not solely the uniform that makes the man (or woman), but its their actions while fighting for their country that shows what they stand for.

YES DAT STAR. SO SHINY.

Pfft. I've actually gotten flak before just because I RP 'Japan', wth.

[cattiechaos]

Welp, pictures of people "dressed up" in lingerie and other questionable attire have begun to trickle onto Facebook, so that makes me feel a bit better about what I wore :P Hopefully one day I'll be able to do something really big for my country and people will totally forget this questionable costume XD

Wow. Just goes to show how quick to judge people are D:

This came as a surprise to me because I thought I read something about it being banned - but I guess that is only for the symbols? :| It's unfortunate, but the U.S. also has neo-Nazi groups because they are protected under our Constitution as well.

B'aw, well thank you! ♥♥
