I like that the marines have two sets of cammies. One set will never be able to work in all environments.

I too like the Marines' camo pattern better than the Army's, and I don't subscribe to the "one pattern fits all" philosophy. I spent most of my time in the Army in BDU or DBUs, a much better idea (though I didn't think the last generation of DBUs were that good of a pattern either).
Here's something: the British did a scientific study during World War 2, and it was discovered that the best pattern for night ops in the air or in desert conditions was -- pink! It might look interesting if in Iraq we were all running around in pink overalls at night...
