Someone told me they could use tan/brown/green mufflers, wool socks and long underwear because it gets very cold there. Is this true? What else do they need now?

Its true it gets cold, at least to them! They have been use to 120/130 degree days when it dips into the 70/80's it feels cold to them.
White/Black/Green cotton socks are still the best bet. Lightweight Blankets/Flannel sheets are good.
Other requested items include Advil or other headache medicine, cold/sinus medicine, kleenex.

boxerblues,
I've re-posted your comment...it is a great improvement on my speculations
on the "temperature factor" in post #23.

I've got to admit I was suprised that the daytime highs in most big Iraqi cities
is still in the mid-90s. But I guess that goes with the territory when you're in
a desert country!
