They are pulling more weight than we are right now, and you can hear them kicking ass every night, with limited support from us, they are ready for the transition, the time is right. Its a different place here than it was in 2005-I would walk down any street in this country at any hour, which is more than I can say for cities such as Chicago,Detroit,L.A or N.Y.C! Why dont you come check out the scene here for yourself! I am writing this from Baghdad, trust me the Iraqis ARE holding thier own.

Bur you have to buy it, unit can get it from supply chain but it takes too long. Ranger Joes is in stock. They have such a thing to eliminate the velcro look.

It was really terrible to be hit with that stuff.. Why can't we lift the ban against it and really drop it from aircraft and perhaps have it packed in our cannon shells. I don't care how much the enemy concentrates on defeating us. when we start using that "jelly" on them, they will reconsider their stupid ways.. (Former Air Force Viet Nam Vett) Hey Guys,

We would need to advertise our intent world-wide (CNN) and watch the enemy walk away. Their leaders would go berserk trying to recruit new "volunteers" or get new "bombers." Remember what they believe will happen to them if pig blood is on their body when they die. "NO MORE ALLAH or HEAVEN>" Gentlemen,

Especially if your enemy has night vision (which you can get off of ebay), you will stick out like a sore thumb. Even if they don't have NVGs, camo appropriate to the environment will work just fine. As for your comment about this being all about contracts, of course it is. The ACU pattern was designed as urban camo, never intended for anything else. Natick rated it horribly compared to other camo patterns in most environments. Even Natick's UCP-D pattern isn't their preferred choice, but its all about money and politics.

So I ask again just what purpose, other than producing another photo opportunity, is being served? These troopers are walking down a creek, and yet they are very very silouetted.
