Both the Canadian and the American military, could time out for some fun of tug of war. The Canadian is on the left, American on the right. I thought the American would win because he looked to out weight the Canadian. http://ca.news.yahoo...a-28711969.html

It looked pretty close there but then it became a battle of endurance. Canadian beef vs. McDonalds

No need to identify the Canuck, he (they) are the ones unfortunately having to wear jungle camouflage uniforms in a desert arena.

It took a while to properly outfit them as I recall. (Shame on the Quartermaster bureaucracy!

I think the US allies loaned them some desert equipt. until Canada caught up. Nice those Yanks!

Seeing as the Americans were not wearing desert camouflage I don't see your point.

How do you know it's all the same? - Maybe it differs depending on the location they are serving in, as the terrain is a mix of desert and scrubby in some areas. It's definitely different from what the Canadians are wearing.

Maybe I am making an assumption, but every time I have seen US soldiers on base, and they were either wearing ACU's or Desert Camouflage. Maybe its new, or another kind of uniform but it does not look like a dedicated desert uniform.

You certainly would know more about it than I do. What about MultiCam?

I don't know, what about it? I haven't dealt with US soldiers in a couple of years so I don't know what new uniforms they have.

It’s Enduring Freedom MultiCam…….As for the US personal wearing it, they’re likely Airborne……possibly Rangers or Delta…….or USAF.

Some people regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot. Others look on it as a cow they can milk. Not enough people see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon.

Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. And if it stops moving, subsidize it.
