Digital Camouflage

I've been kind of up in the air about the Military's new digital camouflage. I understood how it was more effective, since the purpose of camouflage is to break up the outline, so of course with more smaller fluctuations in color then that means it's going to be more effective. I think this had a lot to do with having never seen it in action like I've seen other forms such as the Ghillie suits utilized by Seals, Rangers, and Snipers. For those that don't know, Ghillie suits are the camouflage suits worn that make people look like big walking bog monsters. Or like this:

So, yeah. I was unconvinced about this new fangled technology until I saw this next picture, and then became completely convinced of it's effectiveness.

Digital Camouflage gets 6 Beards for being effective enough that this guys wife probably has no idea he's asleep on the couch instead of cleaning up the dog shit in the kitchen.

I would give them about 8 beards. When i was working the frame shop at Michael's there was a picture i framed of a Guy's platoon and they all had digital camo on. They all merged into the background of the picture, only their faces were distinguishable, it was incredible. it honestly took me a while to figure out what the hell i was looking at, and if they had been in the distance trying to shoot me, i would of been toast. There was one guy in old school camo and he stuck out like a sore thumb.
