The Marine didn't necessarily "steal" it from the Canadians, the Marine Corps went through hundreds of different patterns and where brought up with series of fractal equations and nonsense. Then the rest of the US branches followed us, thus resulting in other patterns...and its not all the pattern that is bad, its the color i would say more or less. gray isn't the best all around now, if you want to call it a gray. it has its uses like next to cement, or floral couches....but overall i say its not so great. what they need to do is either 2-3 colors like us. but now and days everyone (well we have been) are wearing flight suits out anyways....
