I did some digging (while laughing my way thru "Armed and Famous," what a hoot), and in the Jan 2007 issue of Soldier of Fortune magazine I re-found one of the articles I had read before. It is part of a statement made by a US Army sniper re the mis-deployment of snipers in the sandbox, and their equipment. Re the ACU's he said "...The ACU's are garbage (unless you work in an office). They do not help you blend with any kiind of terrain or urban setting, the Velcro has to be one of the worst ideas in U.S. Military history. The pockets are still coming open on their own, the arm pockets still snag on things and let out that gut-wrenching r-r-rip when then come open, magazines don't fit into the magazine pouches on the leg and a broken down MRE will not fit in the leg pouch. I'd like to have a few words with the f*ing REMF that decided that we should have them (you have to wonder who is making money on it)..."
