| I have a question that is really an argument with a friend.
Don't the marines wear all DESERT shirt and pants with a WOODLAND VEST?
everything i've seen is the marines with desert camo and a woodland vest and he doesn't see the logic in that and i say that there is plants there not just desert then he says ya shrubs and i say they plant stuff like palm trees and crap like that in the cities were most fighting is
so does anyone know the answer to this? | |

| i think it's mostly MARPAT desert cammies with tan IBAs/MTVs. i think the mix of woodland and 3-color desert was back in the early days of the occupation. and while i do agree with you that there is vegeatation in the Iraqi 'environment' i don't think it would be so much that it would void MARPAT desert. take the ACU, for example. all the green is not very good for anywhere except the Big F**k (Fallujah area) and the northern farmland, since they have a lot of vegetation there. now put ACU in southern Iraq. so much sand, it's unbelievable. | |
