I just don't think it is economically feasible to use this on regular troops. Special forces are another matter of course.
In the future, the war will be faught with unmanned robots. Mechwarriors if you will

I think the real question is: Can I watch porn with it?
I haven't formed opinion about this uniform yet. First I laughed, then I cried, but it has some good features. This certainly does not go good with regular ground troopers, maybe there are some functions for it in other groups. Worth of all that money? Hell no.In da butt.

Well, the new advanced combat rifle (you know, the one with programable "smart bullets") is supposed to be in the same price range, so I don't see this as completely unrealistic.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

Cpuldn't we change that to;
In the future there will be no more wars...
That way, you get the money for schools and Lonestar can have his payrise.Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - EpicurusComment

And to think I was happy when I found out the Army was thinking about redesiging the BDU's.
These uniforms won't be used for the regular grunt. Like Lonestar said, just give me a raise and I'll be happy...Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul TighComment

2. I'd rather have few crying mothers over national debt. I dunno preferring few casualty over leaving kids on the streets cause they have no education makes me a sick bastard or not, but thats just me.
This just makes it more dissapointing that I aint gonna join the army. I came to my senses btw. I prolly will make more money in 3 years than any amt of college funds army will give me by rotting it away.. so..
These uniforms won't be used for the regular grunt.
Actually it is... Not right away, but at least thats the plan.
Come to think of it its an old news, but I have never seen an actual photo of how it was going to look (its sooooo Aliens!!!
)
