New motto for English military: We're just good enough

[Nobar King]

Click the link and watch the video and hear how the modern British army has rejected useful camoflage for a version that it 'just good enough':

British Army to get new camouflage uniform


The new Multi-Terrain Pattern (MTP) will replace the traditional four colour woodland uniform known as No.8: Disruptive Pattern Material (DPM).
Forces in Afghanistan will start to get the new uniforms in March next year, with the whole army upgraded by 2011.
MTP is designed for a wide range of environments, including the volatile "green zone" of Helmand province.

Those brits make no sense at all. They say "well the old camo worked perfectly" and now they're going to downgrade it? Maybe they feel like they have an unfair advantage. Idiotic if you ask me.

From the article:

Lt Col Toby Evans - a military advisor with the Government's Defence Science and Technology Laboratory - told the BBC the new uniform was a compromise between having a uniform that was perfectly suited to a specific environments and one that would work well across a wide range of conditions.

Read between the lines and all I can see is;

"Since we have forsaken Jesus, our country is now too poor to afford to give each soldier a new set of camos if and when we deploy them to a different environment, so we will continue our slow long decline into obscurity and try to say Pip Pip and Cheerio and all that as we go. Wish us luck!"
