Pic at Link. So what to my United States Army "brethren" think of this?

[Mr. K]

because we need to spend more money!

[Yo-Yo]

Again? Sheesh.

[smokingfrog]

$102 for a uniform is too much

[gaijin]

Basically mini-Woodland pattern.

Never should have left Woodland for that stupid blue cyber crap.

[null and void]

We'll spend millions to get a new uniform that "will perform as well as the MultiCam pattern troops wear in Afghanistan."

Millions for no improvement, except to the bottom line of the campaign donor uniform manufacturers.

Not to worry though, the sub-minimum wage front line soldiers have plenty of spare bucks to pay for the new uniforms out of their own pockets...

[MeshugeMikey]

Im thinking it will probably end up looking something like the artists conception.. in the photo below...

The new Mooselim Outreach Camo!

[oh8eleven]

Another Army uniform change?
Will probably include those cute, made-in-China, berets.
Maybe in PC pink this time?

[Louis Foxwell]

Not very effective. I can still see him.

[PROCON]

This old soldier says Phooey!

The plain old olive drab uniforms, (pre-1980), worked just fine.

[moovova]

I read someplace that the new version is basically the Multicam with more black, vertical lines (to represent twigs).

So ..when do the troops have to start paying for their own weapons?

[Daffynition]

[Terry L Smith]

Why does a change exist?

We had OD. That wasnt good for SouthEast Asia, so we had jungle stripe. That wasnt good for the, then, threat
os Western Europe, so we had woodland camo. That wasnt good enough to fight saddam, so we went three
color then six color m and m dessrt camo. Then all the
mix up of camos, as per which arm of the military chose
their own slant on it.

Money, money, money spent on all those changes,
but why not make all those camo outfits
particular to the theater of operation, only?

I mean, military stationed in the swamps of
Louisiana wearing desert camo?

Or ... Is this new camo going to be used against the
American populace?

Urban Camouflage

[Popman]

Maybe I'm not informed, but why do the soldiers who will never see combat action or engagement need to have camouflage uniforms ?...

Seems as much money they spend on uniforms, using a simple green uniform for such people would be financially prudent..

Maybe one of you veterans can explain this to me..

[CIB-173RDABN]

I remember the first few month I was in Viet Nam. All I had were stateside fatigues and regular boots. The fatigues even had my name tag (white) and US ARMY (green and yellow) as well as my jump wings (white). Some camouflage!

As my fatigues rotted away they were replaced with jungle fatigues and at some point I got the new boots.

[SandRat]

Basically a happy return to the Salad Suit that I wore for half of my career. Pickle Suit for the first half.

[jmcenanly]

With this regime, I’m surprised that it wasn’t blaze Orange.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

"In the close fight, soldiers rely on camouflage to provide concealment, and that is critically important to their mission effectiveness."

So are Rules of Engagement that actually make sense.

It doesn't work. I can clearly see the troop.

An administration spokes person stated that the grease paint, red nose and floppy shoes are ready now, but Lockheed’s mil spec lapel flower squirt gun was still having software problems.
