How would we tell everyone apart???

A Congressional committee voted Wednesday to end service-specific camouflage in an amendment that would push the military toward creating joint combat uniforms by 2018.

Committee members expressed frustration over the millions of dollars the services have spent to field camouflage patterns that focus more on creating a visual brand than effective concealment for the battlefield.

This is not the first time the Pentagon has been criticized over its management of camouflage development.

The Government Accountability Office blasted the U.S. military in September for the way it has developed camouflage uniforms over the past decade. Since 2012, military service leaders have introduced seven new patterns -- two desert, two woodland and three universal -- in a "fragmented approach" that GAO officials argue should be avoided in the future.

Why, in the name of god, would you want to do that to everyone? The only way ACU's blend into anything, at all, is if you haven't washed them in three weeks while doing patrols outside the wire and go prone in a blown up building. Even then, it's only because they become infused with the natural crap and dirt of the local AO. Plus, Velcro sucks balls... and so does the crotch stitching on the trousers, shit always rips. Take a knee? Rip. Step on a ladder? Rip. Get in a truck? Rip.

I don't, but they suck so they'll probably win.
