True - but that was a highly specific suit for a very specific purpose. For that matter, he could have sprawled out under a tarp with the same color pattern and nobody overhead would have been able to distinguish the man-shaped outline beneath.
If he'd been stopped in the street and searched, he'd have had a helluva time explaining the suit versus, say, a gray painter's dropcloth.

Well, isn't that what a ghillie suit is? Highly specialized for a specific area? After all, you use local foliage and items from the immediate area of your roost to make it.
*snort* Another complaint about ACUs - what, in the hell, do they blend with? The digital pattern is supposed to defeat electronic sensors, but the projected hostiles for the near future aren't going to be using that kind of technology for a while.
As you say, too much politics and not enough honest assessment and implementation.

Funny you should mention that as the latest cammo produced, ironically the ABUs used by the airforce and not the army, have resistance to detection from infrared as well as their normal optics protection. Of course, the trade off is that it's a bit of a pain to wear.
