A-Team Military Uniforms

image

One of these things are not like the others! So through the series of the A-Team we see our boys (sorry Murdock, I know you don’t like anyone referring to them as such) wear their former uniforms in a VERY limited capacity. By that I mean Murdock only wears his uniform once, in A Nice Place to Visit while the others wear it in both that episode and during their Court Martial in Trial by Fire. Now I’m not claiming to be an expert in military uniforms, especially those from Vietnam era. Seriously, the only experience I have with military uniforms from that time is looking at my grandfather’s uniform. However I do want to look at the four members uniforms and go over various parts of them. After all a military dress uniform is almost like wearing your resume on your chest. I thought I would take a stab at looking at some of our favorite characters through the series in their spiffy uniforms.

COL Rodrick Decker

COL/LTC John ‘Hannibal’ Smith

MAJ Ray Brenner

CPT H.M. ‘Howling Mad’ Murdock

1LT Templeton ‘Face’ Peck

SFC Basco Anthony ‘B.A.’ Baracus

Each of these go into detail with the uniforms. However I would like to point out that while Hannibal, Face, and B.A. are all Special Forces, it is VERY VERY obvious that Murdock is NOT

I think an interesting thing about post time skip vs pre time skip is Luffy and the crew aren’t conveniently arriving just in time for major plans unfolding but it’s them causing the chaos now. Like Syrup Village, we conveniently arrived on the very eve of Kuro’s three year plan. Skypeia we conveniently arrive on the eve of the Arc Maximum being complete and Eneru enacting his five year plan. In Alabasta we convincingly arrive in the Grand Line to meet Vivi to help her at just the right time to get involved in her civil war. The only big exception to the rule seems to be Water 7, where Nico Robin’s arrival caused the World Government to finally act on Iceburg.

However in the New World, it’s the Strawhats that are causing things to happen. The whole thing between Punk Hazzard and Dressrosa are BECAUSE the Strawhats arrived and worked with Law. Whole Cake only happened BECAUSE Sanji’s identity was finally properly established to the world. Wano seemed to be the main exception so far, as Toki set it up.

I just kinda like the shift from us accidentally finding ourselves in the middle of historic events to now being the cause of historic events happening.

So I just realized that if the God Valley Incident was 38 years ago, and the Celestial Dragons game of picking an island and hunting all the inhabitants to death happens every three years… then the last game happened the year Luffy and the others became a pirate crew!

So me and my youngest sister are watching One Piece together and we recently watched the Davy Back Fight. I seriously forgot that this was the first mention of Hachinosu. According to Robin, the Davy Back Fight was created on Hachinosu to allow pirates to basically have draft picks from each other.

Do you ever wonder what other crews may have used the Davy Back Fight? Did the Rock’s know about it? Did they use it? I wasn’t surprised that Robin knew about it, but I was surprised Sanji and Usopp both did too. Maybe Zeff told Sanji about it? Or Sanji learned a bit about it when ‘training’ in Germa as a child. You would think Nami may have heard of it from Arlong but then again Arlong probably never cared about those things.

I’m kinda glad that we don’t see other crews really using this. For many it’s probably just an outdated game that heavily relies on the participants to honor the rules. It honestly seems like if you don’t believe in Davy Jones then the only real punishment to not obeying the rules is a blow to your pride, which many other crews in the world of One Piece don’t seem to care about. Like can you really see Blackbeard or any of his crew honoring a Davy Back Fight?

So my little sister has really gotten into One Piece recently and we are watching it together. She’s never seen it before and we just got to Water 7 and met Galley La. She loves Rob Lucci and was asking me if he’s going to stay friends with the Strawhats by the end of the arc. So yeah… wait until she finds out
