Like my momma used to tell me: "If Bobby and Janie call black people [ethnic slurs], does that make it okay for you to call them that, too?"
Language skills are important, as we've just witnessed.
When the Army finalizes their decision for a new camo, and starts producing ACUs in the new pattern, is the UCP still going to be described as "ACU"?
I guess that since this is military gear board, I'd hoped that folks would know the difference between ACU and UCP, and not just lump it together like they do on Facebook and other places where the users don't know much (if at all) about camouflage or military subjects while ignorantly running their mouths about it.
I'm on a Kalashnikov enthusiast's board, and we give the guys there a hard time that call everything ever produced at a Kalashnikov plant an "AK-47". On that board, we expect folks to know the difference.
Now, back on topic: Who would be issued this type of garment? Pilots? Aircrew?
Can we get some better pix?
