Bosnia begins to use USMC MARPAT

[Dhopeful]

What do you guys think about it? From what I have read about MARPAT it was intended to be for the USMC only. But is anyone happy they choose MARPAT over the Army ACU's?

There was something in the new MCTimes about how other countries are using marpat to the point where the EGA is still in the pattern.

Whatever, wearing the pattern doesn't make you a Marine...

Not excited about it, but meh, how can we stop them.

Gonna be a rodeo if we have to fight them.

This doesn't bother me nearly as much as seeing some high school kid wearing the cover crooked and carrying a full set of the woodland MARPAT, f-ing retarded.

Why would anyone care? The uniform of many foreign services are very close to ours - Navy-wise, Japan and the UK have very similar duds to our own - BFD.

It could be worse, Liberian rebels wore Coast Guard duds in addition to wearing dresses.

It could be worse,

Or worse, they could have copied the Iraqi Police uniform... D'oh! I meant to say NWU. I know, I know. Scab. Pick. Don't.

If anything, it tells you that the MARPAT makes more sense than some of the other..............!

That is NOT a Coast Guard approved PFD. The gloves are a nice touch, though.

If the EGA is not in the pattern - Fine. If it is, then I have issues with it.

You care to talk about the issue?

If your gonna get in a wad about some cockmite wearing the EGA on a uniform Id recommend starting with some of the gunshow commandos you see talking about how they cant tell you who they were with but they saw some stuff in their time.


And to the original poster, anybody that thinks ACU is a good pattern for a woodland European enviroment or just about any enviroment over the multitude of other available patterns out there is sadly mistaken. It doesnt matter if it breaks up the human shape better if the color is so off that it stands out amongst the background.

Uniforms aside ... some things ARE universal. I like how this African thug chooses the 'gangsta' method of shooting ... i.e., weapon tilted 90 degrees to port ...

It's always nice to witness the exportation of OUR culture abroad, isn't it ?? All in the spirit of inclusiveness, diversity ... hands across the sea & all ...
