Canada vs USA

[Topaz]

Both the Canadian and the American military, could time out for some fun of tug of war. The Canadian is on the left, American on the right. I thought the American would win because he looked to out weight the Canadian. http://ca.news.yahoo.com/video/odd-22186925/tug-of-war-usa-vs-canada-28711969.html#crsl=%252Fvideo%252Fodd-22186925%252Ftug-of-war-usa-vs-canada-28711969.html

great video, great allies.

[Guest American Woman]

Great allies indeed - and good to see them having some fun.

It looked pretty close there but then it became a battle of endurance. Canadian beef vs. McDonalds

No need to identify the Canuck, he (they) are the ones unfortunately having to wear jungle camouflage uniforms in a desert arena.

It took a while to properly outfit them as I recall. (Shame on the Quartermaster bureaucracy!

I think the US allies loaned them some desert equipt. until Canada caught up. Nice those Yanks!

Seeing as the Americans were not wearing desert camouflage I don't see your point.

Yes, they were.

[Signals.Cpl]

Yes, they were.

Ive seen american desert Cammo and that was not it.

How do you know it's all the same? - Maybe it differs depending on the location they are serving in, as the terrain is a mix of desert and scrubby in some areas. It's definitely different from what the Canadians are wearing.

Maybe I am making an assumption, but every time I have seen US soldiers on base, and they were either wearing ACU's or Desert Camouflage. Maybe its new, or another kind of uniform but it does not look like a dedicated desert uniform.

You certainly would know more about it than I do. What about MultiCam?

I don't know, what about it? I haven't dealt with US soldiers in a couple of years so I don't know what new uniforms they have.

I THINK it's desert MARPAT

[Signals.Cpl]

It’s Enduring Freedom MultiCam…….As for the US personal wearing it, they’re likely Airborne……possibly Rangers or Delta…….or USAF.

Negative Ghostrider……..MARPAT is a digital pattern like ours…….These folks aren’t Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children, nor Navy.

Gee willakers I thought my point was pretty obvious, Canadian soldiers weren't appropriately, uniformly provided for in the situ.

Forest Green perhaps stuck out in the desert. Got it now ? , because if not I will be glad to go into more detail for those other than the hoi polloi who I'm sure got my point..initially...
