CNN published a story on the Army’s quest for a new camo pattern. While I have never been overly impressed with main stream media coverage of our industry, this article is factual and offers an interesting insight. Since virtually everyone who reads SSD has more than a passing interest, it is kind of cool to find out what “Joe Six-pack” thinks about this. Since those folks are taxpayers it would probably be a good idea for the guys behind the Army’s latest camo conquest to go over and take a gander at the comments. They are quite enlightening. Generally, they run to the, “waste of taxpayer dollars” side of the equation. But, at this point, since industry has already submitted their proposals, if this thing dies on the vine, taxpayer money won’t be the only funds wasted.
