I don't know that I'm going to make it through the whole 1 hour vid, but I do appreciate this: it seems a lot like 2/58 in 2003, minus the two-story hill we had on our side. Now, that's no disrespect to 1/50 Candy Land, rather a shot across the bow of USMC jimmies, not *Joes* like US. Sincerely, 2/58 House of Pain B Co, 2/58 (ABN) 2003

NoahSaintJames the Army has cycled through numerous uniforms. These are known as the BDU (Battle Dress Uniform) camo pattern which also had the desert battle dress uniform you got once you got to your duty station. Those are the uniforms we see in the first documentaries of the Iraq War. Tan. Both BDU and DBDU Cycled out in 05 when the ACU(Army Combat Uniform) was brought in (digital camo) that we all know now. Now the ACU is being cycled out with the new OCP (Operational Camoflaug Pattern) uniforms.
