Facepalm. The military can really make some stupid oversights if it tries hard enough.

LOL. Good grief. Anyone who has ever been in the military understands only too well the capacity for brainless beauracracy...

Holy cow! It only took them six years to figure this out? Who was the Einstein with the brainstorm?

The first $100 Aimpoint type sights were used in the early 70’s. The Army didn’t mass issue them until the early 90’s. 20 years.
IED resistant vehicles are fifty/sixty years old. The US military has just had them for five( ? ) years.
And other stuff. None of which was the concern of flag rank officers.
Pathetic.

Dear Mom, Dad,
In my next package, could you please send a case of tan spray paint for me and the guys?
Thanks, Johnny

I used to take tan cammo and drap it over my green vehicles and then tie it down with comm wire. Course, mine were not nearly as big as a Stryker :-)
To: Jet Jaguar
The Army and its contracting agencies have been talking about changing the color of the Strykers since 2004, according to Butts, “but nothing firm was planned out until now.” Expect this sort of dithering in a nationalized health care bureaucracy.

When the Japanese SDF deployed to Iraq a couple years back, they kept their woodland green uniforms and equipment — and made sure the Japanese flag was very visible from every direction.
It was never stated, but I always suspected the reason for that was to make sure that everyone knew they were not Americans and would not engage in combat.
It worked. For whatever reason, they were not targeted the whole time they were there. Not one single Japanese soldier was injured or killed.
