You call that Camouflage?

I call it ugly.

The thing doesn't look like it would hide much of anything. What was wrong with the woodland camo? I can understand some required design changes due to new equipment, but the actual camo pattern scares the daylights out of me. Where the hell are you supposed to conceal yourself in that monstrosity? A snow storm?

Good camouflage is supposed to break up the lines that give you away. This junk doesn't break up anything except the cones and rods in the back of my eyeballs.

Although the new "no polish" boots are going to make some troops very happy. A spit-shined pair of boots might look good in uniform, but once you're out in the field, it goes to hell pretty quick. However, ten bucks says that some sergeant is going to find a way for new recruits to polish them.
