That has been debated as well, but there's a huge difference in how it is used, and that could also ring true for guns and other gear as well. I can tell you this, I wouldn't wear Cadpat fatigues in public, but camo isn't nevessarly earned, and I haven't met anyone serving or veteran who cares about camo. Also, total loadout makes you look like a specific denomination, not just color. Many companies have distribution rights for patterns, and certain gear is protected by law. For instance real CF gear isn't available on the legal market, but you can get tons of legitimate real steel sets of Multicam pants from various legitimate companies. Camo is a tool more than a symbol. I tend to use MULTICAM, but I don't dress like a seal or American army personnel. Many people use Marpat, but don't look or dress like marines. If the Rangers use holographic sights does that mean I cant?
