On A side note, as someone who currently wears the ACUs daily, I can tell you that it is a ridiculous and poorly designed uniform. But here is what is interesting, and why I am posting this in the History thread...

The Army, is deployed in Afghanistan, wearing a Uniform that looks very much like the uniform the Soviets wore when they invaded this country! Someone is not paying attention to history. This strikes me as not very culturally sensitive...

What do you think?

For pictures of me in my ACUs check out http://www.armysailor.com or for generic pictures do a google image search.

Then watch 'Red Dawn'.
