"We have supposedly taken delivery of enough ARID pattern CADPAT for at least one battlegroup, probably two, and that was as of last summer (after we came back from ‘ghani.)"
I‘ve heard a lot of talk about how we sent troops to Afghanistan in green based camo, and how bad that was. So I thought I would ask people here what they think. I‘m not sure if any Afghanistan vets on this site but what are feelings. I‘ve seen pictures from Afghanistan with members of 3 PPCI and believe it or not there was green and yes even trees. My feeling is that CADPAT was okay, it would been better to have the new Arid style but they were‘t ready. And way better than using American uniforms. At least this way: to the world we were actually there. I know I might take flak for this but I feel its a sign of a colony to wear someone else‘s uniform.
