So the Rangers are switching to Multicam... will the army follow the Rangers and ditch that ACU that isn't as Universal as they claim? Also, anyone have any other pics?

I lol'd

And blame Capt. Roosevelt (FDR's son) of the Marine Raiders for that, his Marines were the first ones to use Garands in significant quantity.

I would like to see the BDU's back, but that is now the past. Having to personally wear the ACU, it is not so bad. I make due with the fact it does not always blend into everything, but all camouflage is good for is an aid, not to make you completely invisible. It is more comfortable than the BDU, but gets ripped much more easily, and I don't have to wear the old full shoulder, black MP brassard, only a Velcro patch. The old brassards when you pin them tear into the BDU. Plus boot maintenance is certainly lower with hot weather boots. A camouflage does not make the soldier, but being proficient in one's duties does. Why argue over it, Multicam is being fielded to soldiers in Afghanistan within the next few months or so.
