I knew a simple soldier boy.....
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
And no one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

It works same way as american uniform. Because all digital pic's are processed by how the pixcels are interpreted, placing a specific pattern of cube shapes breaks up the silohette. In turn from a satellite pic positive identification would be extremely difficult.Life's short, party naked :-)

Yanks are replacing their Digital ACU's with Multicam for use in Afghanistan from later this year.New British camo,MTP, has gone operational already in Helmand."Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

those are the ones with brown in? they seem fairly effective but the MTP seems best from what ive seenThere may be only one time in your life when your country will call upon you and you will be the only one who can do the nasty job that has to be done -- do it or forever after there will be the taste of ashes in your mouth.

Originally posted by ARNGScout View PostNo, they're not. That was one of two options - adding brown to the existing ACU - color - looked crap. We're going to the full MultiCam uniform - we're supposed to be getting them over the summer sometime.I knew a simple soldier boy.....
