Little known fact folks.  US Battle Dress Uniforms (BDU's) are thermal
dampening.  They bleed off heat in an irregular pattern that DOESN'T
look
like a human silhouette.  Course this is when they are fresh and not
pressed/starched (so THAT'S why they say don't starch the uniforms), but
new
field issue BDU's have the ability.  Extrapolate forward to the later
22nd
century and....

Like they say, for every measure there is a counter-measure.  Remember,
in
SGII while the tech helps, it's the men and leaders that make or break
the
battles.
