Short sleeves and shorts... <_<

Not really a practical utility uniform in the field unless you like scratching the hell out of your arms and legs when you need to hit the dirt.

If I recall correctly that was the conclusion they came to in that war, although probably more because skin tones contrast foliage rather well more than anything, turns out beating the heat doesn't trump the ability to not get spotted and shot at first.

Then again I'm no expert and I don't want to deal with the ensuing conversations on the topic so I should probably just not post but.... eh fuck it.

Looks at score... <_<

I see at least 5 people who have never had to low crawl on the ground before. I had to do it over sharp jagged rocks, and my knees/elbows were bloody as hell afterward, and that's with full pants and long sleeves.

The famous short shorts were never actually an official army uniform, the brushstroke camo only came in full length pants. The booty shorts were often just a modification made by Selous Scouts in field, or just civilian shorts they decided to run with. The army eventually said they weren't allowed to keep doing that because their shiny white legs gave them away.
