Whatever - I wasn't being rude, just pointing out that you were simply stating the bleeding obvious.
Regarding the situation with the CADPAT patterns - as I understand it, there was some controversy about this in Canada itself. Reason being that the Army had only just started with the issue of TW CADPAT and I believe it was pointed out that priority of issue was given to the PPCLI as they were deploying overseas. I may be wrong about this, but it seemed like a PR stunt to get some nice pictures of CADPAT in use - rather than letting the troops deploy with ODs which might have been more appropriate.
As for the Royal Marines - the reason you saw/see them wearing woodland DPM smocks is becuase that is the only material the windproof Arctic smock has ever been produced in. The desert DPM material is not windproof.
Lastly, I'm not British - I'm Canadian, I just happen to live here.
