The evolution of US military camouflage: From basic green and khaki to digital patterns and beyond

Last summer, the U.S. Army confirmed that soldiers will begin wearing the new Army Combat Uniform (ACU) that bears the Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) – also known as Scorpion W2. They are now being issued, and soldiers are expected to retire their prior uniforms by summer 2018.

This means it’s the end of the line for the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP), which was known for its digital-like appearance. Camouflage has undergone numerous changes in the past decade, and the new OCP is just the latest effort by the U.S. military to develop the “perfect camouflage.”

While not standing out on the battlefield would seem fairly obvious, the use of camouflage by the U.S. military only dates back 60 years. And, the use of camouflage by any army dates back just a couple of centuries.

FK – Someone must’ve been getting paid off all those years to keep them dressed in that absurd nearly baby blue crap they wore. Our ‘troops’ are pawns and their lives and health are tertiary at best. Here’s the WIkipedia page on this stuff and an article they linked to. Multi cam is the best thing I’ve ever seen in real use. There are probably better patterns out there. The old woodland we used is not good for temperate climates in the winter, too much green. I use the multi-cam to hunt and it looks like a much better all-around pattern if that’s all they claim they can afford.

FK – Well, gee. He’s dumb enough to think the police are there to protect him and his property. I just can’t feel sorry for these sheeple any more.

The SCOTUS  has ruled multiple times the police have no responsibility to protect anyone.

Is this another Ferguson?:

FK – We can’t know unless we were there. We can’t trust the govt. We can’t trust the newswhores. We can’t trust the commie organizers who are really causing the violence. Nothing will get better until the upper middle class, the smart people with money, figure out there’s no more corn in the trough and commit themselves to doing what will be required.

Baltimore riots: Who will protect rights, lives and property of city’s residents?

FK – This doesn’t get as many hits or as many views or ratings:

FK – They need to be marching on their legislature and their city and county government buildings. Commies protest. Real patriots work for real ‘change.’

It’s official: Police were ordered to stand down and let the Baltimore riots rage out of control

Up until now, there had been some unconfirmed reports that police in Baltimore had been ordered to “stand down” during the riots, but nobody had been willing to come forward and go on the record.  Now that has all changed.  Michael Lewis is the Sheriff of Wicomico County, Maryland and what he has to say is absolutely jaw dropping.  When he saw what was happening in Baltimore, he gathered up some of his fellow officers and drove down to the city to help.  But when he got there, he says that all of the police were being ordered not to take any action and to let the rioters destroy property.  Lewis made this astounding claim during a discussion on a Baltimore radio station

FK –  Gee, why didn’t someone point them to the white “Liberal”(commie) trash neighborhoods and say “There’s Whitey!”

The commies are firing for effect. What are their real goals for all this? Looks like it’s going to be a long and interesting summer:

FK – They don’t have the manpower to oppress us equally. If enough understood that we outnumber them this could be fixed…

And they will refuse to listen to the few with any common sense:

FK – I’ve long said that if Jesus was walking down the street today the preachers would be screaming the loudest to kill him again.

Well, at least she’s making an attempt:

FK – Does she understand how the commie newswhores that are interviewing her are part of the system that have done so much intentional damage to her race?

Baltimore and Their Crap-Happy Looters

FK – The basics will always be popular… So stock up on things like brass, copper, lead and steel. It will be needed.

This guy has his priorities straight:

FK – Ice cream has long been at the top of my food pyramid…
