OK, Next person who bitches about the US Army UCP (ACU) camouflage pattern has to wear this.This is an Iranian pattern, and it is apparently known as the "ice cream paint job pattern". It is the worst camo pattern known to man. (Excluding the fashion patterns in red and orange and pink and so forth) I mean, what were they thinking? It could possibly be an OK pattern for a snowy environment, but in the desert? Really? I also like how his uniform is slovenly and un-military like when guarding the most important site in his country AND getting his picture taken by the media.
Man, it sure is easy to make fun of some people. Of course, what is not funny is that this unfortunately dressed soldier is guarding a Nuclear plant at Bushehr which will soon make Iran a nuclear armed nation. To believe that is not the goal of their program is frankly, amazingly stupid. The rest of the world (US EU, Saudi Arabia and everyone else who really does not want a Nuclear Iran) probably should have simply paid the Israelis to destroy the Iranian nuclear program. Or joined them in a false-flag operation. Why them? Well, they would like to do it and the Iranians couldn't hate them any more than they already do now could they?
Really? Iran has glaciers, dude. You can go skiing year-round within easy driving distance of Tehran. I'm surprised at you since you are originally from an arid State that is known for its ski resorts.
ReplyDeleteDoes that look like a glacier to you? No, it is a goddamn nuclear plant in the desert. In August. Austria has some of the best glacier skiing in the entire world and THEY figured out how to wear a green shirt.
ReplyDeleteYeah, but they aren't exactly trying to be indiscreet while guarding a large high-security site. Have you seen the guards at military installations in the US? They aren't exactly dressed to hide. In fact, US cammo isn't exactly designed for use in the bases or the cities in which personnel spend most of their time. Cammo is for combat or intelligence operations during which there may be a need to blend in with the surroundings, not guard duty where a show of force is usually the only real purpose of being there. If there were an attack he would probably go behind some prepared fortification, not into the surrounding landscape to blend in. Let's be realistic; what would the people who need to show the guard their identification to get in do if they couldn't see him?
ReplyDeleteIt is still stupid and ugly. And for twice defending the Iranians, I am reporting to the CIA for un-American attitudes. Cuba is nice in the fall, I hear.
ReplyDeleteSee if I share my cigars with you, capitalist infidel!
ReplyDeleteOk...as near as I can tell by what Google is showing me, these are specifically for guarding nuclear sites. If that's so, it's really not that much worse than any other urban camo. Check out your second photo - he's in motion but it's definitely harder to make out the lines of his body than if he were wearing OD, duck hunter or safariflage. In the end, though, as I said above, it's not really a position that requires much in the way of aesthetic discretion. Yeah, he's ugly, but the only reason that you don't find most camo ugly is probably because you are so into military. I mean, who the fuck thinks dressing like a damn tree is "cool?" Hippies; that's who.
ReplyDeleteSo are you calling the Wu Tang Clan hippies? 'Cuz I doubt your ninjitsu skills are high enough for that.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am gonna stand on the supposition that almost every kind of camo (with one M) is better than this.
I say Kills them Kills them all!
ReplyDeleteSilly Iranians!
ReplyDeleteHow forgiving of you :)
ReplyDeleteKevlar likes hugging trees so much that he wants everyone to start dressing like them. And, yes, I am calling the Wu Tang Clan hippies because they are total commies with their hip-hop community organizing.
ReplyDeleteWhile I tend to agree that Iran's goal is nuclear weapons, just as big a problem is them selling nuclear waste for use in dirty bombs. They won't even need to get into the target country, just upwind. They can do this any time now.
ReplyDeleteI'd be pretty concerned if I was living in Israel. I imagine sooner or later Israel is going to do a pre-emptive strike, which Bush made legitimate, and I think more countries should get together with Israel and do it right.
We know they have been helping arm and train insurgents who were/are inserted into Iraq and kill US/Nato soldiers, Iraq soldiers and non-combatants.
Plus their leaders are bat shit crazy, excuse the language.

ReplyDeleteSometimes you need to make sure that your enemy can't spot you among large amounts of Cheez Wiz, such as when going on maneuvers at a Super Bowl party.
