I misread his post, thought he was commenting on the pattern. But even so, I think the ACU uniform itself (as in the style in which it is made, not the pattern) is better than BDUs, at least when deployed. When I came into the army BDUs were just starting to be phased out so I didn't get to wear them that much, but they're a hassle to keep maintained and they get raggy pretty quick if you don't dry clean them. ACUs/MC can just be tossed in a washer and they're fine. The velcro can be convenient as you don't have to have everything resewn for every new uniform you get, but when it wears down. MCs have slightly redesigned (and now better) pockets , but they're largely the same as ACUs, just more durable.
