Why don't we use the mitznefet helmet cover for better concealment?

The mitznefet is a helmet cover that breaks up the distinctive shape of a helmet, making wearers harder to spot, and also prevents sunlight from deflecting off of the helmet. The IDF use it all of the time and report it is effective at keeping soldiers concealed despite its odd look. Why does the US Army not adopt this basic but highly effective tool? It is very light and can easily be stored when not in use.

Nope, we ain’t no Israelis. Never forget:
American spy ship USS Liberty – which was bombed by an Israeli fighter jet and torpedo boats on June 8, 1967 in the eastern Mediterranean – was somewhat overlooked. Thirty-four American sailors were killed in the Israeli attack and many others were wounded.

We were directed to wear a piece of camo netting on our helmets in Afghanistan. Dubbed "Carabello hair" after CSM Carabello, who was shiny-bald.
God bless him.

There is indeed a lot of effective tools that we don't see the standard infantry wearing. That's not to say Spec Ops teams don't utilize these.

That is d the same reason that the old Steath fighter were painted black, the most mission effective colors looked too feminine, so mach overrode science.

But the us helmet covers do not break up the shape of the human head like the Israeli version. I think we should adapt our helmet covers to be more like theirs
