On a side note, if your planning a new kit avoid black as much as possible. Many people buy black vests, holsters or pouches for one reason or another. In my opinion black items on your kit amplify the body's shape which undermines the whole idea behind camo in the first place.

Utter nonsense.
Black is the official color of ninjas, and I never see a ninja coming.

Black is becoming more popular as a color as guys are going more and more retro with gear, mindset and training. Also people seem to think that black will be some kind of gleaming light on the field, it will not, but your pit stained wifebeater is.

Being sneaky on the field has less to do with the camo you wear and more about your behavior, I got pluged in the back by a guy with a T-shirt and a maskingtape holster for his shotty because I was too focused on what was in front of me to look around.

Tunnel vision is always a killer.

Something to consider also with the digital cammies is that the digital pattern was designed to mess with digital cameras. The pixillated pattern is designed to help the user blend into the background better on intelligence photos and such when the resolution is lower and the picture is more grainy. For example take a display pic and blow it up to full screen, digital patterns are designed to blend in with this.

Also a note on camo, color matters less then shade. For example what is going to do better, dark woodlands or the lighter desert cammies when you are trying to hide behind shrubs and brush. Yes desert is designed to go with desert play, but what are you hiding behind? I know generally I am not prone trying to take cover behind the dirt, I am working the brush.

It was really more geared towards breaking up the silhouette of a group or stack of soldiers at a distance not so much an individual, more so during night ops.  

And for the ninja thing....any ninja fan will tell you there was never ever ever any ninjas dressed in black garb in the days of the ninja.  They typically wore blue or purple, as true black does not exist in nature.
