They released a statement that they tried to help the Army save money by selling at prices reduced to less than 1% over cost and the Army rejected the offer;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Army officials have said, on condition of anonymity, that negotiations with Crye broke down over cost. Military.com has reported that Army officials did not want to pay Crye $24.8 million in royalties to use MultiCam, citing an unnamed source.<\/p>\n<p>The company said that under pressure from the Army, it had reluctantly provided a valuation to the service, along with a discounted price. It claims the figure had been misused to represent the company as unwilling to negotiate with the Army as the Army seeks to find cost savings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, the Army is spending that 24.8 million bucks looking for a new pattern. Is that how you run your personal finances? I don&#8217;t. <\/p>\n<p>Slightly off-topic; I recommend that Crye move out of New York because between the New York City mayor and the State&#8217;s legacy governor, I see them outlawing camouflage because it looks so scary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Army Times reports that Multicam patterns may disappear, according to Crye Precision, the folks who &hellip; <a title=\"Multicam wars\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=40498\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Multicam wars<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[213,198],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-40498","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-your-tax-dollars-at-work","category-big-army"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40498","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=40498"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40498\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=40498"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=40498"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=40498"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
