i dont like the fact that the bdu or dcu is now unofficial wear for our troops lets say that we end up going to war somewhere with a tropical climate we would lose due to the fact acus can be picked out of a forest so easy a blind man could see them and the only way the bdus and acus would come into play is if the dod ends up making them offical wear for our troops once again its just not right to eliminate the uniforms we would have to use again sometime in the future.
