Ha! You Can’t See me!

I have a problem (OK more than one but we are trying to stay on topic) with camouflage.  It hasn’t done anything to me personally and I doubt it ever will, but it’s on my list.  I understand why we have it, what purpose it serves and where it is appropriate to wear it (i.e. combat or jungles), what I don’t get is how it came to be mainstream.  I mean, how do the hicks with the camo seat covers in their pick up trucks know where to sit if their seats are camouflaged?  If the pattern is serving its purpose it is hiding the seats from plain view, right? Also, please tell me where is the right place for one to wear PINK camo?  The only circumstance I can think off is a sneak attack on a pepto bismol plant.

Next.  Who designs this stuff?  I understood in Desert Storm when the camo had fake flies on it, eventhough that is adding a bit much of artistic flair, the two things I don’t get is 1)since when did camo become pixelated and 2)why does the Navy wear camo? If I’m walking in the jungle, I doubt I will find any twigs, leaves or trees that are square shaped, was the camo not working so they decided to go a different route altogether?  [Please remember all of these questions are supposed to be rhetorical, I don't want you screaming out answers at your computer screen! ] Now I am no expert on water warfare so maybe that is the reason I don’t get the Navy wearing camo, but here is the question, if you fall off of a ship the LAST thing you want to be wearing is something that makes you blend in with the water and look like a floating head!  Maybe the camo-making company can devise some sort of material that when it is submerged it turns from blue camo to dayglo orange camo? Now we’re talking. 

And to the guys who wear camo hunting, yes that is your decision to kill poor defenseless Bambi, but last time I checked Bambi and Thumper weren’t roaming around a suburban shopping mall so why the need to wear camo pants to Kohls? Do you think “Maybe if I cover myself in head to toe camo that no one will see this 4 slice toaster under my jacket!”? Newsflash boys and girls WE CAN SEE YOU! 

Last but not least who thought this was a good idea?!

    HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, “The only circumstance I can think off is a sneak attack on a pepto bismol plant.” I do buy Zach the green camo pants because they cover up his food spills and grass stains. Other than that, I’m with ya!
