Money.
Multicam and Atacs are designer stuff. Sounds expensive and it is expensive, but the army already has and is issuing Mulitcam so how much more would it cost to design yet another pattern. They make my brain hurt.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Haw haw haw?..
Exactly, multicam is an excellent patern and the soldiers love it, it will cost 10x as much and take 10x as long to develop a new pattern than to just continue issuing multicam

I still prefer my old tiger stripe BDUs. I have some older ones with a little fading that blend very well, even here in Colorado... just saying
I guess someone should investigate whose bank account grew due to this nonsense...
5 BILLION wasted, and not a single GO is named (much less penalized or,heaven forbid, given a negative review on their 'competance')... here's my shock face :|
too bad Joe has to pay for this mistake (in funds that could have been used in training).
I actually like the ACU. Back in my Army days, it didn't really matter what you were wearing to the enemy, as they usually heard your vehicles coming a mile away, or where already under attack by the time they saw you. Sure, we re-painted our vehicles as needed, but we were still wearing OD Green or Woodland Camo BDU's, up until the very end of my career when finally the "chocolate chips" came out. I think the design has come a long way though as far as fit and function. I think they should keep working on a more comfortable and functional design, then just make them in all white. That way you could issue it for winter combat as is, or just dye them and re-dye them whatever shade you needed to match the country side where you going to, kind of like the vehicles. Of course, it's allot easier "blending in" when you've got vegetation for concealment. Not so much the case with today's urban/desert campaigns. Even so, camoflauge of any type only works when you're sitting still, waiting to ambush. The second you move, the jig is up. Another reason why I really liked night ops, using nature's "ultimate" camoflauge!

MY FEEDBACK
You would definitely be in the minority!
“Every good citizen makes his country's honor his own, and cherishes it not only as precious but as sacred. He is willing to risk his life in its defense and is conscious that he gains protection while he gives it.” Andrew Jackson

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Yeah, pretty much used to that already! Besides, ACU looks MUCH hipper than chocolate chip ever did! Although, I did look pretty dashing in woodland BDU'S. It's all about impressing the chicks when you went into town.

MY FEEDBACK
I was thinking about taking one of my many brand new sets of ACU's...all issued when they came out but never had to wear them...and making a ghillie suit out a set. I have all the materials still from when I was on active duty. I think it would be okay.
