As of recently the majority of the Uniformed Services of the United States of America have adopted new Camoflauge patterns for standard issue for their personnel. Of these, which one is your favorite?

Woodland MARPAT

Desert MARPAT

ACU

Navy Work Uniform (NWU)

Airman Battle Uniform (ABU)

Airman Battle Uniform, simply `cause it's the USAF.

Woodland.

There are no real men in the desert to fight.

Marpat, BDU and ACU style uniforms are, for all practical intents and means of concealment, absolutely worthless.

The color bands either aren't bland enough or they're not dark enough and whoever it was that decided to eliminate black (or dark Blue) should get out into nature more often at night to examine the terrain and then kick themselves in the ass for designing a uniform that makes troopers glow in the dark.

Mix a bit of the NWU colors into the ABU (for an overall darker blue sort of look) and I think you've got a woodland winner. The ACU is a write-off. I'd rather wear flat black and do night-work than risk wearing that damn thing at all.

Of course the real winner of all uniforms would be wearing a ghillie suit all the time, but thatwould be a wee bit impractical.

I think I would perpetually sneeze in a ghillie suit.

You realize that a proper ghillies suit is made of burlap on which you attach accoutrements made from your surroundings right?

Unless you're allergic to grass or have hayfever I doubt you'll have much problem wearing a ghillies suit (notice I didn't factor in comfort!).

Woodland.

But i'm biased as I love getting out and camping in forests and national parks.
