    Why? Velcro is really quiet.

    What was wrong with the DCU and BDU, change the cut, go back to those two patterns, we still have plenty of stock left, and most people buy their own pouches anyways. Color will not change poor design.

    The military could fuck up a wet dream.

    Thank God I got out in in 2009 before the navy jumped into the stupidity. I bet that they are pissed that it is changing 2 years after they adopted uniforms that serve no purpose in the first place.

    Wait, the Army had single color uniforms at one time! What were they thinking!

    My old 1SG in basic was one of 3 senior NCOs left in the army who was a Vietnam, Panama, Desert Storm, AND Enduring Freedom veteran. He retired pretty much right after our class graduated. He said he'd been through 3 uniform changes in his career and that it was 1 too many... very outspoken against the ACU pattern.

    This is the same thinking that had the air force instead of replacing the training airplanes at the Academy with new Cessnas (old planes were Cessnas) purchased some crap from the UK, which killed a few people and now sit in some hangar somewhere.

    I've wondered why they never switched to this...
