Eh. I liked the BDU's because my pockets would stay closed, they weren't FUCKING TEAL, and because they were idiot proof. Some Korean chick sews all of the patches, etc and everything stays where its supposed to. One less thing to worry about.
I hate the ACU's for all of the aforementioned reasons and would like to add:
- The stupid drawstrings on the cargo pockets that fall out the first time you wash your pants.
- The pen holders.
- The zipper on the blouse that eats skin as soon as you add body armor and a little movement.
- The pouches in the knees and elbows intended for some sort of foam padding inserts (never seen'em). If one is intent on spending that much time on their knees, they can use the issued hard plastic knee pads or join the Navy.
That being said, I wish the Army would spend a little less time engaging in various forms of fashion faggotry and a little more time...i dunno...training.
