Well, duh! Like housing costs, soldiers get an allowance above and beyond their salary to spend on uniforms, boots, etc. They then go and purchase the appropriate sizes and quanities, get any tailoring they need, dry cleaning and so forth. A soldier who takes decent care of his uniform items has no problem staying with the allowance.

I guess our trolling guest would prefer to go back to they way the army used to be -- where you were assigned clothing and boots that came in two sizes -- too large and too small.
