Do you think that the US Army should switch back to the BDU?

I think that the ACU is bad for discipline because Soldiers don't have to shine boots and iron/ press their uniform. It gives them the easy fix and also hurts pride and tradition. In my mind a Soldier's uniform is a good reflection of the Soldier themselves. I also think that Drill Sergeants do not nearly look as clean, mean, and professional in the ACU. Whatever happened to the good old days of Monday morning open ranks inspections and highly spit shined black leather boots? I know the ACU is ok for Iraq/ Afghanistan but the DCU was much better. When the Army left the BDU I think it left behind a good part of pride, tradition, and discipline.
