Triva

  • In contrast to many armed forces, the Shirerithians consider camouflage uniforms to be a waste of time and resources, reasoning that personnel in the field will soon become dirty enough to blend into their surroundings in any event, with a good smear of mud and engine grease being as efficacious as camo greasepaint for skin darkening. It is considered more timely and cost-effective to encourage sentries, snipers and special forces operatives to prepare their own ghillie suits to fit the local terrain and climatic conditions rather than have numpties in the clothing department of the procurement agency try to figure out standardised patterns for every probable permutation.
    • Naval camouflage is an expression used in a similar vein as chocolate teapot to describe an item of dubious utility.
