The "New and Improved" ACU
I searched around, of course, hopefully I didn't miss these articles. Looks like it may not be the pattern alone that we see changing. These seem like some great ideas all around, and slow or not, its great that PEO seems to be legitimately interested in what will serve Soldiers better.

For Americans war is almost all of the time a nuisance, and military skill is a luxury like Mah-Jongg. But when the issue is brought home to them, war becomes as important, for the necessary period, as business or sport. And it is hard to decide which is likely to be the more ominous for the [terrorists] -- an American decision that this is sport, or that it is business.
