“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
A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'
That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
I think that the ACU's work great in the sagebrush on the western slope. I have used mine for archery hunting a couple of times over there and I think that I blend in great. I have yet to kill an elk with a bow though... so maybe they do suck. I always chalked it up to my sub-par land navigation skills. But now I am thinking it must be the camo, damn you ACU!!
I don't know why they even try to create a "universal pattern". What a stupid idea for a country that acts as the worlds police. The military in Singapore had digicam that is almost Kawasaki green, and it works great all over their entire country. But for us it makes no sense to develop a universal pattern.
Why? Velcro is really quiet.Originally Posted by OneGuy67
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.
Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Haw haw haw?..
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.
Why do they have cammo? I can see Corpsmen, and other ground pounders, but why on a ship?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.

To hide from work.
I can't believe the navy switched to this. It looks absolutely horrible. I saw a guy in Aurora wearing it and I thought he was a Russian...
Someone agree with me here that it looks like a camo patter the Russians had.
I would also like to go on record here. When the Army was switching to this uniform, I was a specialist about to be sergeant with no combat experience...zero...and I said, that looks like it would never work. I mean, if a guy that never had a need for camo knows it won't work, then what was everyone else thinking?
And, does this mean the Air Force will switch too. Don't they just have the same colors but in tiger stripe?
I hope so. ABUs suck donkey balls. We wouldn't use them in Iraq and Afghanistan. We were wearing tan nomex suits or 5.11s and XGO brand shirts. Nobody has mentioned this yet, but there is a lot of synthetic fiber in both the Army and AF new 'shoot here' uniforms. My old command learned the hard way what they do in explosions. It's like wearing fricken napalm that hasn't been lit yet.
I recommended to the AF use something similar to multi cam three times during the development and fielding of the ABU fiasco... The AF had their own personal hard on for identity during the uniform rush. Decisions being made by overpaid Generals that refused to acknowledge the AF actually has ground combatants in their branch. They were more concerned about the uniform not requiring ironing, it having AF blue in it, and bullet statements for their Fn OPRs. Wasn't a god-damned thing wrong with the BDU and DCU patterns.
One of the best uniforms I saw in my active time was the BDUs the Army chopper pilots used in Korea. They were BDU, but the colors looked like a normal uniform had been washed in a mud colored stain.
WHY can't they just beta test all future camo with the sniper units? They will tell you in a week if they are good or suck or if need a tweak somewhere.
BTW, Fatigues were in use my first two years active. I would take fatigues over the ABU in a heartbeat.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
