I worked with a friendly Vietnam Vet who would refer to the pockets on the sides of the legs as, "grenade bags." I thought it was sort of cool, but also gave me pause. I wondered if that was why so many guys came back with their legs missing from the knee down.
I don't know. OP, I think you have a good question.

I kinda like that look. But I think it's kind of weird since I was NEVER in any branch of the military. I was just a spoiled college kid at that age.
Not that I want to go around in full Desert Storm camo or anything like that, but I bought a couple of UnderArmor hoodies in khaki and camel with "tactical" patches, etc. And a pair of UA camo military style boots.
And a shemagh, an Afghani neck scarf for men, worn during combat as well as non-combat, which a lot of the US troops took to wearing - keeps the dust out of your respiratory system (which ain't such a big issue in the wet, forested mid-West of the USA).
This crap has sat in my closet for 2 years. Never been brave enough to wear it.
