What are the top 5 most recognizable military uniforms in the world?
This may be an unpopular answer for some people, but the number ONE most world-wide recognized uniform is the U.S. Navy enlisted Dress Whites and Dress Blues ("crackerjacks"). Much of the reasoning is the U.S. Navy presence throughout the world, that is an advantage over other countries and other U.S. branches of military. The Marine Corps dress blues are most likely in your "top 5" HOWEVER...to the untrained eye, many civilians confuse Marine Corps and Army service and dress uniforms as they are (again, to the untrained eye) similar in appearance. Marine and Army service uniforms both include green slacks/trousers. Marine and Army dress blues both have blue trousers with single stripes down each side WITH a black jacket with trim around the edges. Conversely, with the U.S. Navy there is no mistaking the bell bottom trousers with flab on the back, "dixie cup" hat and chevron with crow on the left sleeve.

Do Army Rangers blouse their Greens?
Yes, Army Rangers (as well as Special Forces, 82nd Airborne and 101st Airborne) wear bloused boots with their greens. Most of them have one set of Corcoran jump boots they keep spitshined for wear with their greens. The problem with blousing your greens is, if you ever get reassigned from one of those units to a leg unit, you have to buy new dress green pants because there's a black stripe running around both legs. But you do not have to be in any Ranger Bat or Spec Ops unit to bluose your greens. If you have airborne qualification wings you can blouse your green if your commandor permits the bloused greens In general you won't see a soldier in a non-airborne unit blouse his greens except for a parade or something--it's really hard to march in low quarters, so blousing greens is common for honor guards and the like. In the non-airborne parts of the Army you will hear one term over and over: the airborne mafia. We legs don't really care for paratroopers, and we're not going to have their bloused greens in our units if we can help it.
