As a soldier I could care less about the pattern or if it looks good.  For Pete's sake it's not required to look good, it's supposed to help protect our soldiers by making them harder to see with the naked eye and deflect infra-Red imaging.

You know, in today's world I have to say "No" it's not ok.  I remember as a 14 yo walking through the little town I grew up in carrying my .22 cal rifle right down main street as I cut across town to the open land me and my friends went shooting in.  But then that town, much like today, only had a population of 542 and...more
