@isaackuo @graydon @dr2chase We're not going to get rid of mil-spec clothing, armour, and equipment: what's going to go is a consistent "uniform" appearance. (I have speculated, for example, about the ease of designing a drone with swastika-seeking firmware …)

Well, it's certainly possible to try and visually break up the "standard" appearance of your helmet or service rifle. But a uniform already looks really different all the time just from the movement of limbs and different angles.
Personally, I like to ponder audio sensing (with hidden ground based sensors). Disguising the clinking of your rifle isn't going to be so easy.
