At least the Afghan defense minister didn't fancy the hideous blue camo adopted by the Navy.

The Navy insists it's not camo. Just a good pattern to conceal grease and oil. And they think it's good for morale. (everybody else has cool camo) :D :D

...according to the report. It goes on to point out that the U.S. military could have spent as little as $156,400 to determine a camouflage pattern’s effectiveness in its own lab.
Uhh, because no one's ever done that.

How much did the Army (and by extension, the USAF) spend on the highly effective Universal Camouflage Pattern? I'm betting far more than $28 million, and that pattern WAS tested (and generally failed).
