I love how they are described as “attention-getting.” Doesn’t that defeat the purpose?
The attention-getting ACUs were one of a dozen changes made to improve the safety, comfort and functionality of the Army combat uniform and combat load.

Boy Suspended For ‘Thinking’ About Knife
QUEEN CREEK, Ariz. – A kindergartner was suspended for “intent” – finding a knife and thinking about taking it to school, even though he decided not to.
Josh Bejerano, 5, showed CBS 5 News the bush where he and his friends found a pocket knife Thursday morning on their way to school.
“It was in that bush right by that house,” said Josh.
The kindergartner briefly put the knife in his backpack, but thought better of it and put it down.
“It was a bad idea, bringing the knife. It could hurt somebody,” said Josh.
The small knife remained in the park, well off of school grounds.
But when the other boys started talking about it at Harmon Elementary, Josh was called into the principal’s office, and ultimately suspended. He was sent home on Thursday.
