The Air Force color scheme is pure monkeyshit, but even if they do go through, I don't think that anyone will be wearing them out into combat.

You hope, but I'm reminded of the Canadian Air Force pilots in Kosovo. They had to wear blue flightsuits because the Canadian government wouldn't spring for OD ones. That really would have helped them E&E if they got shot down. :roll:
