Actually, I like the color. Have you seen the ACUs on soldiers
with your own eyes? It's (surprisingly) not that bad. Before, when
I only saw the pictures on the net, I thought the color was
inappropriate.
I agree it's not the best for jungle/woodland. But it's PERFECT for
urban, and seems decent for desert environments. When I first saw
soldiers wearing ACUs walking along the road, I was stunned. They
blended in perfectly! The only thing that gave them away was their
faces and beret - neck down, they might as well have been part of
the road itself.
The main problem with the ACUs is that it's apparently not as tough
as the old BDUs. Some soldiers have complained about that and also
the velcro straps. But the desert tan boots that come with the
uniform are the best - no need for polishing!!
