no i saw it was a joke... it just sucked thats all.

im sure there are plenty of people who prefer real military issue to fakes. i cant name one person that thinks the fakes are better than the real thing. without real bdus to copy, propper and tru spec would pobably be making tote bags and moccosins for the elderly.

You were right until you said this.. The US soldier would still win even if the gear was switched around here. All the cool gear in the world won't make you win a fight. ;)

(in a civilized voice) bdus are made for the military, if bdus are being made by companies not contracted by the dept. of defence, and are not held to the same rigid specs as military issue bdus they are in fact fakes. its like buying a pair of oakleys in mexico, it says oakley and it is a pair of sunglasses but they are crappy and not the real thing.

on a differnet note, can some one please reccommend me where i can get issue digitals for cheap?

1. Don't call them "Green berets". They are Special Forces or SF. Refering to them as Green berets shows a lack of knowledge, so now you know.

2. Yeah Greg is right. When I was still shooting competitively I would regularly outshoot people with $5k rifles with me $900 AR15. Gear can be a help, but it is no substitute for brains and training. Gear does not make the soldier.

Some specs that the government calls rigid makes me laugh my ass off..Yes ISSUE may be great for some stuff, surplus is also a different story because alot of surplus is the crap that got rejected by inspection(hint why its so cheap sometimes). I will stick with my propper's any day over surplus. But unless you join up, where are you gonna get issue BDU's? I mean, TRUE issue.

I have craploads. I can get the stuff no problem. Where do you think I got all my BDUs from? I certainly didn't pay for them.

Well, once the supply chains filter down those of us with access will be able to go buy them on base.

As for the price, last time I purchased BDUs on base I think it was about $40/set so if you think you are going to find the new digitals, when they are in short supply, for less than $60, forget it.

Surplus man, MARPAT woodland BDUs are still new to the world.  Those $10 woodland BDUs you got have been around for ages.  Thats why those are so cheap.  When MARPAT has been around that long then maybe the price will go down to what you are willing to pay for them now.

Don't you have to be in the military to go into a base?
