Oh, so only WOMEN can manipulate thread and yarn to produce fabric? Tell me, is that a process powered by estrogen or something?

A camouflage shortage in the Marine Corps will lead to service members wearing less regulated uniforms in the near future.
In an Instagram video, Commandant Gen. Eric Smith addressed service members’ concerns over an inability to find and purchase woodland-patterned "cammies" in an ongoing manufacturing shortage. He announced that as the problem continues, local members will be allowed to wear alternate uniforms contrary to Marine standards.
"That problem is going to stay with us until the fall of 2024 when the manufacturer can fill the backlog that has been created after COVID. Until that time, local commanders, battalions and squadrons are authorized to use FROG [flame-resistant organizational gear] gear or [desert-colored] cammies to mitigate," Smith said.
He added, "What we cannot have is a situation where a Marine is wearing unserviceable cammies, because that looks bad for the Corps, and we can’t have a situation where that Marine is being given a hard time about those unserviceable cammies. We’re going to get this fixed, but it’s going to take a little patience."

Simple uniforms are in short supply?? Wow. Talk about a screwed up supply chain.
Aren’t there women in the military now that can weave and knit?
Someone’s gotta pay for the trans surgeries... and it’s gonna be the American people via our soldiers in the field.
Score one for the Sexual Weirdos
ukraine is getting our cammies, now, too, I bet
I absolutely agree, but you would surprised how many MILSPEC (military specification) items are sole sourced. I can assure you that this problem has been going on for many many decades.
“That problem is going to stay with us until the fall of 2024 when the manufacturer can fill the backlog that has been created after COVID. “
The most powerful military the world has ever known (TM).
Here come Lloyd Austin’s “woke” platform boots (I actually saw them in the Army during the dizzy 70s), disco suits and Speedos. Yo Mama!
“Simple uniforms are in short supply?”
I wonder what else is in short supply that they are not telling us about.
(probably stuff we are sending to Ukalale land)
LMAO

Is Lloyd Astin’s time as Sec. of Defense time limited?
When can he be retired, so he can go keep his former
Puppet-Master Miley company again?
yeah but he was weird lol
Only scissor…
So, you wanna go up to him and say that to his face?
I am of the opinion that there doesn’t need to be a camouflage patter per branch of the military.
Irish pennants no longer an issue...
If you months ago Biden and announced that USA is now low on artillery emissions. The US emergency petroleum Reserve is at an all-time low. Now we learn that the military is low in camouflage. The neocon bullies who think US military intervention is awesome simply because of the talking heads on TV say would be very shocked if we get into World War 3. If USA gets into war with russia, will get our asses kicked
An excuse to allow pink and glitter uniforms for the trannies?
I guess it’s a bit of a side point, but I don’t understand why today’s military personnel wear camo so often. When in theater, yes of course. Otherwise, why?
I actually think it sends the wrong message.
