From a California reader: “Why are our brave Marines wearing jungle

camouflage uniforms (except for their helmets) instead of desert camouflage

as would be appropriate in Iraq? Have the Marines been so short-changed in

funding that they can’t even get their basic gear dialed in? What other

equipment limitations are they struggling with under combat conditions? This

situation is scandalous!” Now, I am not an expert on US military uniforms,

but I was just watching some TV coverage & it seems to me this reader is

correct. What’s going on here?
