I think the military are looking at this through rose coloured spectacles.

Any chance they could give this a trial down at Tynecastleki? Vlad is a master of camouflage, as no-one has any idea what he is really up to.

The Americans should get this for sure to avoid killing our soldiers with 'friendly' fire.

this could turn out a very useful invention reducing life loss in the surgery as well as the battlefield

Paul #3, if ever there was a misnomer, then its 'friendly' fire - can't think of anything less friendly that someone on the side as me doing their best to kill me. Be interesting to know how many British troops have killed Americans under this guise as it always seems to be the other way around. Maybe military training in this country doesn't subscribe to the school of gung ho.

Oddly enough, the colour blind can often "see through" camo with fair ease.
The reason is that the colour blind are not blind to colour, but rather have a higher colour-resolution in a lower number of colours. So for some, they end up with loads of resolution in the green band and can thus simply see the difference in greens between true folliage and camo.
Women also have far greater colour resolution than men, though at a cost of contrast, high-detail resolution and speed.

6# you cant enlist if your'e defective

Sounds great until the inventor wants to cash in and sell it to all the armies.
The arabs will come up with more money than anyone else.
Back to basics.

Regardless the young American soldiers just open fire in fear & then ask questions.
In Iraq the Americans are the most feared for blue on blue as well as blue on white.

Regardless the Americans soldiers think there better than anyone else including the British soldiers and kill rather than be killed. They are appalling to work with.

jockyw, i take it you have served in Iraq or Afghanistan, with American forces so you know first hand what you are talking about, as for PAUL V. the mouth that roared, i know you have'nt served in the above places, so its just another case of USA bashing, when are you Brits going to realise good or bad, the US is better allies to you than many, so before you get all puffed up, think about it, the way we see it ,all you do is piss and moan about your present goverment, then send your troops out on patrol without the correct ammo for their weapons, yes PAUL V. we do have our problems but we try and solve them , you guys on the other hand cant even get together on a game of football, so to the big mouths in Scotland , piss up my kilt, to the UK troops and other allied troops a big THANK YOU from your brothers in arms,

jockyw, the kids i have met didnt think they were better than anyone less, they were just happy that they had survived, what arm of the UK forces did you serve in in the middle east Jockyw???, then maybe you can enlighten the US forces how it should be done, my son who served couldnt do it ,,,,,,,
