I am not trying to bust your chops, but why did you say you think it is nuts? I know several Officers that work in PEO soldier, there was exhaustive scientific testing. The colors, pattern, and design were the best all around system and the right uniform at the right time for the US Army. Unless you have some type of empirical evidence I am guessing your response is based on personal preference? I would love to hear why so I can add you comments to the ones I have collected and am going to forward to PEO soldier.
Interesting concept... Seems like they came up with a compromise solution, the pattern will probably be acceptable everywhere, but never highly effective. The uniforms will likely turn to a light grey after a year of use.Black is no longer useful on the uniform because it is not a color found in woodland areas, Myhre said. The current colors on the ACU are green and sandy brown. The pattern is not a 100-percent solution in every environment, Mhyre said, but a good solution across the board.

Will velcro not make a substantial amount of noise?
