This article makes it sound like they spent $5 billion on a handful of uniforms that failed. That's not true. This money was spent on uniforms over a ten year period, 2003-2013. If you start playing around with numbers... Let's just say the US Army (alone) has one million people, and each one of them has seven camo uniforms per person. That's seven million uniforms per year for just the army. Multiple that times ten years and that's seventy million uniforms over a ten year period - just for the US Army.
