Sears licenses the Big Red One
Army still has further to go in order to match the mighty MC in the game of selling public image.

I'm not all that surprised. The military in general needs to remake its image for a generation that is more interested in flash than substance.

Hell, since I can't wear my colored Big Red One patch on my ACUs, might as well wear it on a Sears hooded sweater!
Personally, I do not see the big deal. If it helps promote awareness of a) soldiers exist in this country, b) we are actually in a war and c) some of the money goes to help our wounded troops.
I'm a 1ID vet, wear the 1ID combat patch (subdued unfortunately) and do not see this as a big deal. People have been able to buy 1ID stuff from everywhere from cafepress.com to US Cav. At least Sears and the Pentagon have a say in where the money goes and some control over how it is used.
If you are going to be one, might as well be a Big Red One!

Mr. Leo
I am reminded of Robin Williams as Adrian Cronaeur doing the gay fashion designer in Good Morining Vietnam
We've got a special man in the audience
today, Right now, it's Mr Leo.
He's a fashion consultant for the Army.
"Oh, thank you, Adrian.
I'm just very happy to be here.
I want to tell you something.
You know, this whole camouflage thing
for me doesn't work very well".
Why is that? "Well, because you go
in the jungle, I can't see you.
You know, it's like wearing
stripes and plaid. For me,
I want to do something different.
You know, you go in the jungle,
make a statement.
If you're going to fight, clash.
I think Sears is going to be upset when they don't sell any. Seriously, who really cares? John Murtha, apparently.
Sir, what the hell are we doing?
Ha!!!!!

Say hello to my 2 x 4
I somehow got my doubts about just how pop this Red One will be. I see literally 100s (of civilians) here in cammies, mostly RUBS on brand new HDs. This Sierra is popular, and what the heck, it sells.
I also don't see the harm, so long as we get some much needed funds for things like AAFES and other non-appropriated funded areas for the troops.
Maybe some discounts on Craftsman tools for Stan ?
If you want to blend in, take the bus
