Maybe it's just me, but by the time they hone in your position well
enough to be targeting you with chemical weapons munitions, the idea
behind camoflauge (avoiding detection) seems a little late anyway, so
just how much difference would the "green vs. tan" issue really make?
Or maybe I'm wrong... It might help an individual blend in to reduce
their being a particular target, but I didn't think chemical weapons
were targeted at individual soldiers in the first place. Aren't they
supposed to be more of an area denial weapon, used tactically to
displace groups rather than to use against individuals?
