Yeah, all of this talk about 4,000 troops going to fight Ebola in Africa, a few thousand more to fight back ISIS in Iraq and Syria, the troops involved in Somalia, the Pentagon hiking healthcare costs, and the White House trying to cut the troops’ pay raise…can we get back to the really important issues. Please. <\/p>\n

Stuff like camouflage patterns<\/a>;<\/p>\n

The U.S. Army will soon replace its digital, Universal Camouflage Pattern, but soldiers may still be wearing the service’s Afghanistan pattern for many years into the future.<\/p>\n

The Army’s recent decision to authorize the 75th Ranger Regiment to wear MultiCam in garrison has triggered questions about the pattern’s future as the service prepares to transition to its new Operational Camouflage Pattern in 2015.<\/p>\n

The new OCP is very similar to MultiCam, a pattern made by Crye Precision that the Army adopted for use in Afghanistan in 2010.<\/p>\n

It’s similar to MultiCam because Crye developed the pattern with the Army for its Objective Force Warrior program in 2002. He later made small adjustments to the pattern for trademark purposes and called it MultiCam.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, I don’t even know what they’re talking about anymore, and I don’t think that they do either. Me? I know that “uniform” is supposed to mean that we’ll all look alike, but whichever group of stars and bars is leading this charge has lost sight of that simple concept. Whatever. The problem can solved by cutting the troops pay and throwing that money at stupid self-perpetuating projects like this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
