My $.02 on ACU's
My problem with the ACU's is they are designed to be usable on any terrain, and not specialized to any type of environment. This way, Soldiers are not supposed to need to draw different uniforms for desert or forest environments, its a universal pattern. (Kind of the same "one weapon for all contigencies" brilliance that brought about the XM8, and let's not get started on that one.)
I personally would rather have DCU's if I was going to the sandbox, and BDU's if I was going to the forest. I'm a firm believer that the military's specialized equipment makes a big contribution to success, not just in weapons and equipment, but in uniforms.

They attack with one purpose and one purpose only, to destroy the enemy." --- Miyamoto Musashi
