I know several men who erned their berets through blood, sweat, tears, and determination, and they were all less than happy when the powers that be decided to give them away as favors for enlisting. While I can understand if the Rangers want to return to the black berets (I have one which was a gift from a group of Rangers for some work I did to assist them back in the day, and I proudly hang in the wall of my home office, not work, so no one thinks I'm claiming something I didn't earn), I'd hope that they continue with the tan berets. They look better with the new uniforms than the black, especially with the blues.
