[QUOTE="murlow12"][QUOTE="specialedpal"] Color is what defines camouflage.. Thus making them different. Thats like saying BDU's are the same thing as the OD's. Also, Functionally they aren't the same. The ACU uses annoying velcro and a zipper to close up the blouse. The Marine camo uses the traditional buttons. On3ShotOneKillBDUs are the same as the DCUs, just the color is different. Function is what matters. What are you talking about? If the camo of a uniform is different than they are NOT the same. The Marine's and Army's uniforms are also made differently, so you really need to stop talking. The ACUs and MARPATs believe it or not actually do have a slightly different pattern, and obviously color so they are different. the MARPATs have a total of 8 pockets on the uniform whereas the ACUs have 10 not including the pencil holders on the arm and the extra pocket on the inside of the cover. there are a couple other pockets im sure, but i don't ever get that close to soldiers so... ACUs are worn with a beret (pronounced buray for the dumba**es) or a round top cover. MARPATs are worn with an 8 point cover. both are worn with desert boots (i've seen people wear both 8 and 10") ACUs are worn with a tan undershirt, MARPATs are worn with a green undershirt. ACUs utilize zippers and velcro with a collar that folds up to protect the neck, MARPATs use the old school buttons with a collar that is ironed flat, basically the same as the old cammies. and last but not least, i hear everyone in the Army complain about this one, you can roll the sleeves on the MARPATs (don't you dare roll them unless they look on spot) but you can't roll the sleeves on the ACUs. there are more differences but im trying to go have a cigarette... and comparing some kids' airsoft uniforms isn't going to cut it, they aren't the same as the real cammies, trust me on this.
what branch of military should i join
