Except for camo butt plugs. No shortage of them.

Pretty pathetic, we don’t have enough money for uniforms for our Marines, but we have a hundred billion dollars for Ukraine.

I am of the opinion that there doesn’t need to be a camouflage pattern per branch of the military.

I don't know...

Army - woodland

Navy - ocean gray with simulated grease stains

Air Force - Tarmac Tan or Golf Course Green

Marines - Mud, but also Ocean Gray with simulate grease stains

Coast Guard - Blazing Orange, Yellow, or Green


Space Force - Alien Probe-Ready Purple

“Wow. Talk about a screwed up supply chain.”

10 15 years ago many uniform items were being made in China.

General Miley was too busy getting rid of Trump and starting WWIII to worry about supply chains.

Thanks for the explanation. It makes sense.

Not to worry. In the short term, they can always use CADPAT uniforms. The CAF won’t need them any more.

As Crime Minister Cockwomble True-dolt has cut another 5% from the CAF budget, I am sure at least part of the cut will be met by reducing the numbers of Canaduh’s already laughably small and under supplied military! That should free up some CADPAT ‘cammies’ that the USMC can use until their supply shortage is resolved.

The first few planes coming in full of coffins will solve the problem of the war whores cheering on this debacle.

They think it (war) is a video game and have no clue.

War with Russia aint gonna be no Camptown races like the last Iraq war.

There are those in the Pentagon who are scared to death of any conflict with Russia. The problem is..they are ignored.

“If USA gets into war with russia, will get our asses kicked“

Do you realize how ridiculous that comment is? Ukraine is putting a good dent into the Russians using civilian drones and old artillery equipment.

The US would send thousands of combat tanks, aircraft, and modern missiles. I don’t think Putin—or you—really wants that to happen.

The US would sink most of their fleet in the first couple of minutes. Not hours. Not days.

Sure, we would take a couple of punches…but in the end China will take Siberia and the new Soviet Union will be split up into little duchy states.

Putin knows this. Why don’t you?

How about we make the fabric and the uniforms in this country instead of China.

Poland would kick Russia’s ass even without our help.

The uniforms were shipped to Ukraine for Zelenskyy’s wardrobe

they will not care. None of their sons are coming home in a coffin.

They’re exempt of the consequences of their actions.

They’ll ,”tsk tsk”, put a ribbon on their lapel and blather on about supporting our troops.

Bullsh%t.

They just want their network gig, money laundered book advance and board of director/consulting fees for DOD corporate pimps.

I was thinking that as well. Ukraine sucking up manufacturing capacity for uniforms. It does show we are unprepared for a large scale conflict. Uniforms packaged food munitions all types of spares boots. It’s a complicated thing.

These Marine Corps humiliations seem to never stop...

When the war with the chicoms begins, the current Corps will no longer be prepared for an “island hopping” campaign...

Instead, they will implement their new techniques of “island prancing” while holding armloads of flowers...

Then perhaps the COVID shutdown garbage did mess up the supply chain.

I think you tagged the wrong person. Codetoad said that.

ukraine is getting our cammies, now, too, I bet

They'll need the autumn and winter sets soon; those forest greens stand out too much after October.

What with all the emphasis on supporting faggotry and trannie-ism, will we have any REAL troops left to drive, fly and launch them?
