﻿Ranking Military Uniforms Around The Worl Tier List
[0:00:00] So, the first unit we’re
going to rank on this list is the Spanish Foreign Legion. Now, not many people outside of Spain
are actually familiar with the Spanish Foreign Legion. They have about 8,000 current members
and they were formed in 1920 by royal decree. Spanish legionnaires have seen combat in various
operations around the world to include the Spanish Civil War, the Western Sahara conflict, the
Yugoslav wars, Afghanistan, Iraq, and currently they fall under NATO in the peace keeping units.
Now, their day-to-day uniforms are cool, but their dress uniforms, yeah,
this is a whole other story. Seriously, these guys look like strippers that got lost on the
way to a bachelorette party. So, as much as I respect what these guys have accomplished,
I got to move them down into the FUBAR section. In case you’re wondering what the military
acronym, FUBAR, stands for? That means fucked up beyond all recognition.
In today’s video, gents, I’m ranking the best and worst military uniforms from around the world.
[Music] Next up on the list,
we’ve got the United States Army Class A uniforms. Hmm, where should I put these?
So, first up, the good. Overall, you’ve got a uniform that isn’t screaming for attention.
I do actually like the blue trousers mixed in with that darker jacket,
pretty decent. The headwear especially the beret is good to go. Oh, and the black shoes,
they didn’t mess that up. Thank goodness. All that being said, there’s just something
off about this combination. Maybe it’s the necktie, maybe it’s that white shirt. Just
when I see this, it just doesn’t really do anything. It’s okay, it’s average. So,
right there for that reason, I've got to put them right there in the center at GOBI.
So, what does GOBI stand for? General officer bright idea. It's when you see someone at the
top wanted to make a decision and said, “You know what? I'm going to put my stamp on the army.”
And, yeah, they thought this looked great and they had no fashion sense.
Next up, we've got the Argentinian Mounted Grenadiers. Overall, this thing looks solid.
I really like how the colors play with each other. That is some strong headwear there.
So, the tall hats, why do they wear these? It makes them look more intimidating. It makes them
look larger, makes them look taller. And this is historically just something that we saw on
a lot of uniforms. Functionality nowadays, not so much, but for a dress uniform, this looks good.
The white belt, the white strap going across the chest, I love it. Right there, we've got the
buttons right there on the side just out of the way. Really, just a great looking uniform. Yeah,
I love the way the red works with that uniform. I got to put these guys right here
at PFA, pretty freaking awesome. Next up, we've got some North Korean
military uniforms. Now, I’m not going to be specific about their air force versus their
navy versus their army. In general, though, I think that these look really good.
They are simple, they're to the point. They don't use a whole lot of flashy colors
and you know make it easy, you're able to match. But, what puts these guys down and I mean I like
all this stuff here, but look at all of the shiny metals right there on the front. I mean,
it's cool, guys may have earned this. But, here's the thing is that it's -- it's almost too much.
I’m surprised these guys aren't doing a face plant because you got all those
metals going all the way down the body. And I also like it with metals maybe a bit of made
a bit smaller fit up around the chest area. Yeah, this is just way overdoing it and for that
reason I got to put them a little bit lower. Yeah, I’m going to go ahead and slide these
guys right in on the SNAFU section, which stands for situation normal all fucked up.
Next up, let's bring in the coast guard. So, a lot of people give the coast guard crap, but
I’ll say their uniforms are pretty solid. We've got the blue on blue with that white cap, I think
it's a pretty solid look. I really like how they went with the contrast right there on the top.
It just works. And I love this combination. Now, that blue uniform and combination there,
I’d probably put middle of the road, maybe a bit higher. But, I’m going to put them up in the next
category because of the white uniform. I love the fact the coast guard has kept this. The navy,
they dropped it. They were stupid. This is a beautiful uniform and I got to put it up at
the PFA level, yeah, pretty freaking awesome. Now, today's video, gents, is brought to you
by Vitaman, the best damn grooming company on the planet. Now, you may be thinking,
“Come on, Antonio. You're biased, you're an owner of the company.”
True, but I’m not afraid to put my money where my mouth is. And that's why over at Vitaman,
I'm giving away free samples, so that you can see the Vitaman difference.
Seriously, gents, down in the description of today's video, I've got a special link that
takes you over to Vitaman, so that you can grab your sample kit absolutely free. Now,
I've only got so many kits and this deal is not going to be around forever, so use it or lose it.
Next up, we've got the Royal Regiment of Scotland, and this is their number one A dress ceremonial
uniform. Now, this is why I like style because individually a lot of these pieces -- I mean,
who would ever wear that? Okay. Maybe the kilt. But, realistically would anyone think to wear
one of these pieces? But, this is where the sum of the parts is so much more than
those individual pieces. And I've got to put this up at the HSLD level, which stands for
high speed low drag. [0:04:59]
Now, what about the United States Air Force? Their blue uniforms are drab, are boring, there’s really
not much up here. I mean, maybe if I had more categories, I’d put them a little bit higher.
But, I’m sorry air force, I mean, you’ve had what, since you broke off from the army,
you’ve had a lot of time to improve on the uniforms. You can just go, you know,
go watch what the Marine Corps is doing. Ah, I got to put these guys in the SNAFU level.
Seriously, air force, you have so much potential. Take a tiny sliver of that
F22 budget, I believe you got plenty there and just get better uniforms.
Next up, we’ve got the Yeoman Warders of Her Majesty’s Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower
of London aka the Beefeaters. Now, when I look at this uniform,
I want to believe at some point in history that this uniform made sense. At this point
in history, I really can’t imagine why they continue to hold this except for the fact
that, yeah, it’s recognizable. Now, realistically I know that this
is a special unit. There’s only like 37 of them and they actually do a great job. They’re all
retired former military from different units and they do this because they just love their country
and that’s respectable. But, when it comes to that uniform, yeah, I got to put them in FUBAR status.
Next up, we’ve got the United States Navy. And let’s first look at their blue
dress uniform. Overall, it’s a solid looking uniform. Have you seen this in person? I know
that the guys wear it well and as much as I want to rag on the navy, I’ve got to actually
say this is a pretty good looking uniform. And what’s going to even do them better is
they brought back the white uniform. This was something that disappeared
for awhile. I’m happy they brought it back. This is a great looking uniform.
And I also have to give them a bit of kudos on how they keep it simple for the enlisted men. So,
the enlisted men used to have the whites and the blues. Now, they’ve just got one uniform which is
actually really nice to keep it simple. And I like how it’s a very functional,
it’s not something that’s uncommon, not something that’s super expensive as well.
They can stow it. It’s just a very practical piece and for that reason, I got to give the navy some
pretty good props. Not so much that I’m going to put them up at the top, but I will put them right
there near the top with pretty freaking awesome. Next up, you’re going to get a two-for-one and
let’s talk about the Wagah-Attari Border Ceremony. In case you’re not familiar, this happens
on the border every evening between Pakistan and India. These guys come out and strut their stuff.
Now, for my friends over in Pakistan, my friends over in India,
I salute you. What I like about these guys is the athleticism and I’m sure the pride
of their army in representing their country. But, what I don’t like here is the headwear and
how over the top, it looks like they’re getting with basically trying to outdo each other. It’s
a bunch of peacocking hair. And unfortunately, I got to put this in with GOBI because this is some
general officers bright idea that he wants to show up some other person.
Yeah, somebody put something on their head, the next day, somebody else put something on
their head. And this is an arms raised that isn’t going to end, yeah, I mean, next thing you know
someone’s going to have a full-on animal on top of their head, if they haven’t already done that.
Now, for this next military group, I got to create a new category. I got to push
all these down and create a new category at the top called chesty puller. Who’s going to slide
right in there? My United States Marine Corps. Gents, in case you didn’t know, back in 1775,
my Marine Corps came alive. Founded in a bar, Tun Tavern, we’ve been starting and finishing
fights for over 200 years – 245 to be specific. Our uniforms as you can see, off the charts. Me,
being modest, I describe them as godlike. And, in case you didn’t know, God has a
heart on for marines because we’re always sending them fresh souls.
Yeah, yeah, right in there. Oorah! If you can’t tell, the brainwashing is strong with this one.
I just need to find some crayons to eat now. Now, gents, I know you got an opinion. I know
you’re going to disagree with me on some of my choices and I know that I missed some units.
So, let me know down in the comments. So, what video to watch next? How about
my ranking of the best and worst dressed YouTubers out there? I have a lot of fun with this video. I
bring in some YouTubers a lot of people don’t even know that I follow. Yes, I do follow these guys.
So, find out who I’m talking about in this video right here and you get to find out how
I rate them on my scale. [0:09:08] End of audio
