The evolution of US military camouflage: From basic green and khaki to digital patterns and beyond

Last summer, the U.S. Army confirmed that soldiers will begin wearing the new Army Combat Uniform (ACU) that bears the Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP) – also known as Scorpion W2. They are now being issued, and soldiers are expected to retire their prior uniforms by summer 2018.

This means it’s the end of the line for the Universal Camouflage Pattern (UCP), which was known for its digital-like appearance. Camouflage has undergone numerous changes in the past decade, and the new OCP is just the latest effort by the U.S. military to develop the “perfect camouflage.”

While not standing out on the battlefield would seem fairly obvious, the use of camouflage by the U.S. military only dates back 60 years. And, the use of camouflage by any army dates back just a couple of centuries.

FK – Someone must’ve been getting paid off all those years to keep them dressed in that absurd nearly baby blue crap they wore. Our ‘troops’ are pawns and their lives and health are tertiary at best. Here’s the WIkipedia page on this stuff and an article they linked to. Multi cam is the best thing I’ve ever seen in real use. There are probably better patterns out there. The old woodland we used is not good for temperate climates in the winter, too much green. I use the multi-cam to hunt and it looks like a much better all-around pattern if that’s all they claim they can afford.

Method for Stopping Shooting Rampages Emerges

Hard evidence — not doctor theories, news commentary, conjecture, hyperbole, rumor, innuendo or any other proposals — clearly shows that the only known way to actually stop spree murderers is to shoot them — or scare them into shooting themselves. Time and again society has found this works.

According to the evidence, every mass murder in recent times has been halted, in the final analysis, by shooting the murderers, or threatening to shoot them, with guns. Members of the press corps continue to debate the subject, despite the evidence. Sources speaking privately say the media consciously reject this fact. In stark contrast, self-defense incidents using guns are suppressed, by news-media policy, and do not appear on the public stage.

Further analysis conducted by The Uninvited Ombudsman, has determined that background checks, or newly proposed additional background checks, recommended by Mr. Obama and others, would be pointless for people who already own guns, since they already own guns. The best estimates indicate this is about 100 million armed Americans.

And in other analysis conducted by The Uninvited Ombudsman, waiting periods have no meaning whatsoever for Americans who already own guns, when they go shopping for guns, since they already own guns. That is also 100 million Americans.

FK – 100 million armed Americans and we can’t take our country back?

FK – So who are our real enemies? Are they hiding in a cave on the other side of the world?

FK – Let Hitlery win. It’ll do the same thing the Marxist mutt has done: Keep the idiot tea partiers and ‘conservatives’ off the golf course and the couch, keep ammo and gun sales high and maybe just maybe, if the Marxist mutt doesn’t beat it to it, do something so arrogant that enough will finally see the necessity of doing what will be required.

Who are our real enemies? Do they have brown skin and are they hiding in a cave on the other side of the world?

FK – The word’s ‘illegal gun’ are not to be found in the Second Amendment. What we need to change is the pacified mindset of the average amerikan and the cowardice of the average ‘conservative’ and ‘libertarian’ so they will stand up, man up and prepare to do what will be required.

We need to stop wasting time arguing with domestic blood enemies who will not stop lying until we force them to stop lying.

The sad thing is that there are so many levels of awareness out there:

FK – What we need is a militia unit in every county in this country who can and will arrest every piece of trash that has created, voted for or supported a ‘gun control law’ and most especially those who enforce them and prosecute the victims of this government terrorism.

The Second Amendment doesn’t say anything about an ‘illegal gun’ or getting permission to exercise it.

Lot’s of ‘good people’ have shot lots of other good people into ditches because they were too stupid and cowardly to say ‘No.’ Most ‘good people’ in this country have been pacified by the government indoctrination centers, the mainstream news and entertainment media and the organized religions. They are willing slaves.

Don’t carry a gun until you have thought about using it in various circumstances. I learned by reading and shooting over the years. There are tons of vids on the net that can teach those who can’t afford to drop 600 bucks on a class. You don’t have to be Rambo to stand up for your Liberty. That’s what this is ultimately about. The crime issue is a red herring.

Did you offer to teach those college kids for free? It’s a good bet that they can’t afford a 600 buck class.

The commie newswhores won’t report on a ‘good guy with a gun’ unless they are forced to, at least on the national level. Lots of big city newswhores are probably prone to pressure from the local commie politicians not to do such reports. That’s the last thing they want is the common sheeple getting the idea they can stand up for themselves, especially against them and their badge wearing tools.

 

Gun Rights Advocates Have A Devastating New Argument Against Gun Control. Here It Is.

“Screw you.” That’s it. Except the first word isn’t “Screw.”

It’s not exactly a traditional argument, but it’s certainly appropriate here. The fact is that there is no point in arguing with liberal gun-control advocates because their argument is never in good faith. They slander gun owners as murderers. They lie about their ultimate aim, which is to ban and confiscate all privately owned weapons. And they adopt a pose of reasonability, yet their position is not susceptible to change because of evidence, facts or law. None of those matter – they already have their conclusion. This has to do with power – their power.

You can’t argue with someone who is lying about his position or whose position is not based upon reason. You can talk all day about how crime has diminished where concealed carry is allowed, while it flourishes in Democrat blue cities where gun control is tightest. You can point to statistics showing that law-abiding citizens who carry legally are exponentially less likely to commit gun crimes than other people. You can cite examples of armed citizens protecting themselves and their communities with guns. You can offer government statistics showing how the typical American is at many times greater risk of death from an automobile crash, a fall, or poisoning than from murder by gun.

But none of that matters, because this debate is not about facts. It’s about power. The liberal anti-gun narrative is not aimed at creating the best public policy but at disarming citizens the liberal elite looks down upon – and for whom weapons represent their last-ditch ability to respond to liberal overreach.

Put simply, liberal elitists don’t like the fact that, at the end of the day, an armed citizenry can tell them, “No.”

FKWell gee, I’ve been preaching the need for “Liberal”(commie) trash season for 15 years. I had a bumper sticker that read “When guns are outlawed, liberal season begins.” It wasn’t big enough to add the standard: ‘…and the newswhores die first.’

And calling them ‘liberal’ and ‘progressive’ and the other cute names the communists labeled themselves with to hide their evil only helps them in their propaganda war, and real physical war, against the Bill of Rights and those who claim to love human Liberty.

There will never come a time when our globalist/communist domestic blood enemies throw
up their hands and say “Oh sorry we bothered you. We’re going home now to live in peace and Liberty with our neighbors.” We will have to hunt them. They will force us to it.

We tried back in the 90s to organize a militia force to deal with this evil. But too many, then as now, were too cowardly and too afraid of losing their mortgages, 401Ks, bass boats, SUVs, big screen tvs, and on and on. The Founders would spit on us.

Things will have to get much worse before they get better, and this is to our benefit. We would be better off with a Hitlery in the now red house for it will do what the Marxist mutt has done: Sold more guns and ammo than the klintons ever thought about, woke lot’s of sheeple up and pissed lots of people off, and it may yet do something so arrogant that even the most pathetic and cowardly ‘conservative’ or ‘libertarian’ or ‘pro-gunner’ would finally accept and prepare for the reality of what will be required.

With a RINO NWO hack in the now red house the repbulicrats and ‘tea partiers’ go back to sleep. Dubya did as much damage to our country and the Bill of Rights as the current tool, but too many are too blind to see that. Waking up is a multi-level process and most get so far along, get scared, and crawl back in their shells to wait for a savior. How pathetic.

Army to Recruiters: Avoid Civilians Who Volunteer to Guard, Report Them

On July 20, a policy letter from the U.S. Army Recruiting Command (USAREC) instructed recruiters to avoid contact and/or conversation with armed “law-abiding” civilians who volunteer to guard recruitment centers and to report said volunteers to law enforcement “if the recruiter feels threatened.”

Stars and Stripes responded to the letter with a July 22 headline that read, “Army To Recruiters: Treat Armed Citizens As Security Threat.”

According to Stars and Stripes, the letter came at the beginning of a week in which citizens were organizing to stand guard at recruitment stations throughout the country: “Armed citizens — some associated with activist groups and militias — were standing vigil outside recruiting centers in Wisconsin, Georgia, Tennessee, Idaho and elsewhere this week, saying they want to provide protection to service members barred from carrying firearms on duty.”

The volunteerism follows last week’s heinous attack on military offices in Chattanooga, Tennessee, whereby Mohammad Youssuf Abdulazeez allegedly drove up to one office and opened fire from inside his car before going to a second military center, where he was able to fatally shoot four Marines and one sailor. News quickly spread that the military personnel were unable to defend themselves via policies mandating gun free zones on U.S. military bases, recruitment offices, etc., so citizens stepped in to fill the gap.

The military blog This Ain’t Hell published the USAREC letter in full; here is a pertinent excerpt:

Recruiters will not acknowledge the presence or interact with these civilians. If questioned by these alleged concerned citizens; be polite, professional, and terminate the conversation immediately and report the incident to local law enforcement and complete USAREC Form 958 IAW USAREC 190-4 (SIR)

A similar posture has been struck by Marine recruitment offices in some parts of the country.

FK – We need “Liberal”(commie) trash season. We desperately need it now…

Act politically but prep for what history shows will have to be done. It’s way past time to prep for what will be required.

Gun production has doubled under Obama

FK – I knew what the Marxist mutt would do: Sell more guns and ammo than the klintons ever thought about, wake lot’s of sheeple up and piss lots of people off, and maybe, just maybe, do something so arrogant that even the most pathetic and cowardly ‘conservative’ or ‘libertarian’ or ‘pro-gunner’ would finally accept and prepare for the reality of what will be required.

Governments will always be able to get guns so we must always be better armed than them.

AK-74: Fast Assembly & Dis-assembly In Russian School

FK – Wow. This is what’s wrong with amerikan schools.

Do they get to practice at home? Can they or their parents own those weapons?

I just wish I could get an AK mag inserted that fast.

ALERT: Congressman Reveals Areas of US Deemed “Hostile” for Obama’s “Martial Law” Exercises

As worry begins to mount over President Barack Obama’s Jade Helm 15 exercises, Congress is beginning to take action on the controversial operation that many believe is a precursor to martial law.

“Rep. Gohmert: Kick Out Dems Who Stopped Bill to Help Veterans” href=”http://conservativetribune.com/gohmert-fire-dems-stopped-bill/” target=”_blank”>Rep. Louis Gohmert, R-Texas, recently became the latest lawmaker to express grave doubt about the exercises, and he pointed out something much of the media hasn’t reported — namely, which states are supposed to be “hostile” territory during the exercise.

Gohmert said in a letter to his constituents that he was deeply troubled by the fact that the territory deemed “hostile” is all in Republican-leaning states.

“Over the past few weeks, my office has been inundated with calls referring to the Jade Helm 15 military exercise scheduled to take place between July 15 and September 15, 2015. This military practice has some concerned that the U.S. Army is preparing for modern-day martial law,” Gohmert said in the letter.

“Certainly, I can understand these concerns. When leaders within the current administration believe that major threats to the country include those who support the Constitution, are military veterans, or even ‘cling to guns or religion,’ patriotic Americans have reason to be concerned,” he explained.

Rep. Gohmert, a veteran of the armed forces, then laid out why Jade Helm 15 worries him.

FK – So who is our biggest enemy? Is it hiding in a cave on the other side of the world?

FKI’m a vet, do ya’ want to thank me?

FK – Don’t know how much of this is hype. Let’s see. I don’t normally use Google because Google is evil. But I know many sheeple do. But then if they know to search ‘jade helm’ they may not be sheeple much longer. Regardless of what some think of Jones at least he’s waking many up. I don’t agree with everything he says but then I know how easy it is to get carried away with the emotion of all this. Too bad so many in denial of the seriousness of our situation don’t.

Citizens Fight Back Against Jade Helm Takeover

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvmeRnsOzC8

FK – Wow. What condescending arrogance. The distaste can be seen in his face.

Did anyone ask him what he’d do if asked to use this ‘training’ against real Americans, i.e. patriots who simply want to live in the free country we’re supposed to have here?

Did anyone ask the Lt. Col. if he’d immediately shoot the officer who ordered him to do so as he should?

Asymmetrical warfare? Many can play at that game. We outnumber them. Remember that. When enough realize this maybe then we’ll take our country back and re-establish Liberty here and shore up the Bill of Rights with a way to constantly force the governments to respect our natural born Liberties with a militia force in every county whose job it is to make sure the granite gallows in front of every government building doesn’t fall into disuse.

It’s time to stop asking absurd questions and prepare for what will be required.

FK – Regardless of what so many ‘patriots,’ and ‘libertarians’ and ‘conservatives’ think they want we are existing in very dangerous times and a very dark age. It’s time to wake up and grow up and deal in this reality and stop waiting to get beamed up.

Schlafly warns America ‘may be at a breaking point already’

Joining the military is an act of cowardice, ignorance, or greed

FK – Sorry I didn’t get around to watching this one earlier. If we had the government we should have I’d have no problem telling someone to join and ‘serve.’ In fact I think we need to return to mandatory conscription for all because I encounter so many sheeple in the real world and on the net who have absolutely no concept of reality. This entire culture could use a drill instructor yelling in its face for a while.
