Snafudude sent us a link to an article in Military.com<\/a> which talks about the new camouflaged uniform the Army is testing for wear in the near future. Apparently they’ve narrowed it down to four patterns, one of them is reptile-like;<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> <\/center><\/p>\n

Now, according to Wiki<\/a>, Multicam has just entered the system in 2010 and now they’re already looking for a new camouflage pattern? And according to the article, the design that the POGs at Nattick entered in the competition has been eliminated. Then what are we paying them for? <\/p>\n

And why do we need to keep changing the pattern? Is global warming changing the climate and vegetation so that we have to keep adjusting crap? It seems to me that if the Army was looking for a way to save money, they fire those pseudo-camouflage experts at Nattick that can’t even come up with a design that they can approve. <\/p>\n

Ya know what…it’s not even that important. Despite what they’d have you believe, a uniform isn’t going to conceal anyone. And after about two days in the field, no matter how much the Army spends on a pattern, they’re all the same color – dirt.<\/p>\n

At least the Navy has it’s priorities straight – they’re making changes to their dress uniforms<\/a> that you squids will have to buy for your seabags. And why?<\/p>\n

\u201cThese uniform changes are the direct result of sailor and leadership feedback,\u201d Rear Adm. Tony Kurta, director of Military Personnel Plans and Policy, said in a released statement. \u201cUpdating Navy uniforms is part of outfitting the 21st Century sailor, ensuring our sailors have practical uniforms they want and that represent our proud naval heritage while reflecting advances in clothing technology and design.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What? You mean “new male E1-E6 Service Dress Blue Uniform, incorporating a side zipper on the jumper and a hidden center zipper on the trousers” doesn’t have anything to do with national defense? But “advances in clothing technology and design” are certainly important – well, important in the sense that it keeps a Rear Admiral billet open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
