This one is for KO: Army fixing uniforms prone to rips...

[Massacure]

... in the crotch :rofl:

"Losing a crotch is supposed to happen sometime after a Thanksgiving meal, not in combat." (http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2007-11-26-uniforms_N.htm)

I wanna hear what KO has to say about this article. :lol:

[Gaucho8788]

:lol:. Thats funny.

[Alpha and Omega]

"The rigors of combat." Lawl. They just don't want to admit that it's because of our bulging man-parts.

[NuclearDreams]

A torn uniform inseam is no laughing matter...

It is a serious problem if it becomes a distraction to the war fighter who needs to concentrate on completing a mission.

I disagree...an American soldier's crotch blowing out at the right moment just may be the needed distraction to thwart insurgents concentrating on a mission. Imagine an insurgent sniper scoping a soldier when suddenly that soldier's crotch has a malfunction. It's damn hard to snipe someone when you're laughing.



Uniforms should have been designed originally to account for the strain..."Losing a crotch is supposed to happen sometime after a Thanksgiving meal, not in combat. :wtf:

That may be true, Nuc, but at the same time it will expose a man's vunerable (and valuable) parts to enemy assault, and that's not exactly a good thing, is it?:p

Since the fabric is such a good deflector of bullets and explosions. :D

Pft, Stat. I feel much better with a piece of cloth between my balls and an explosion. :p

They should put some kevlar over the weak area. Gonads getting shot off is a big deal.

Erm, why would a duty uniform have kevlar nut protection? We wear these uniforms all the time, not just in combat. Hell I'm in them right now, and all I'm doing is dicking around waiting for Wedensday when I fly home. In combat we wear body armor, on top of our uniforms, I'm sure this practice must ring a bell. Or I'd hope it does. The chest and back are protected by a strike plate, which was designed to be effective against 7.62mm rifle rounds. The neck, shoulder (in some cases), and groin pads are a light flexible material meant to protect against shrapnal and 9mm pistol rounds.

As for the ACU's having weak crotches. Any soldier could have told you that. When we DX'ed our initial issue uniforms at the end of Basic everyone had at least one pair of pants they couldn't wear anymore due to a torn crotch, myself included. The ACU's have an awesome pattern that only blends in with gaudy couches, the velcro makes too much noise- on top of that it wears out too quick, and the quality of the uniform is rather debatable. Not to mention if not washed on the proper settings (perminant press for wash and dry, with a non brightening detergent) they will shrink, fade, and eventually turn an off shade of pink.

Fix those problems and then we'll worry about the crotch blowing out once in a while.

Oh, and I hate you all.

Also, no I don't have the internet again, I'm just using a computer at work and a proxy.

Your sarcasm detectors broken.

[SgtRicko]

Your sarcasm detectors broken.

Nah, I think it's broken on your side, bro.:|

Try rebooting your it, or cleaning out teh spyware to make it run better!:p

[Statalyzer]

How can he reboot his it?

[Nod Fanatic]

Nah, I think it's broken on your side, bro.:|
You honestly think KO was joking in that paragraph?

So what you're saying is that having your testicles blown off in combat isn't a big deal? Thats what you'd be inferring if you were actually being sarcastic. Now, even you can appreciate the fact that having your nuts blown off is a big deal - clearly you weren't being sarcastic. KOes called you out and slammed you for a serious remark and then you try to make him look like a chump by acting as if you weren't being serious...

What. A. Loser. Seriously.

[KrasnyOktyabr]

I love you Sunny.
