I was on my way home from class today and some frat dude possibly a ROTC guy asked me if I was from Germany. I said no and he said “Well, that’s Germany’s camo pattern.” I politely said that I knew that, but still… what the fuck? I think I got the clue I was wearing Germany’s camo pattern when I noticed the little German flag on either shoulder when I bought the jacket. Or did I think that was just some kind of US Special Forces? NO!! Of course I knew it was German. Fuckface.
If you see someone walking around in a US camo jacket, do you assume they are either in the Vietnam or Iraq vet? Not generally. Only if they are in full camo BDUs do you say to yourself, “That guy must be in the military.” If someone is just walking around with a camo jacket, you usually dismiss it. So, do me a favor. Every time you see someone in a camo jacket, ask him if he is in the Army. Then when he says no, tell him he is wearing the Army’s camo pattern. Then smile to yourself when he/she gives you a weird look. I do the same thing with people wearing UMR stuff. So far, not a single person I have asked has actually attended UMR. It was usually their brother or something. I find it funny.
