CAMOUFLAGE DAY!! Fri, Sep 29, 2017
It's been said that the clothes make the man, and nowhere is this truer than in the military. A soldier's uniform denotes everything from allegiance and branch to title and rank. And when it comes to camouflage, it can mean the difference between life and death. Here is some fun facts about "Camouflage."
- "Camouflage," borrowed from the French word camoufler, "to disguise."
- Around 1916, France had established the world's first military team dedicated to stealth attire, after a crushing defeat at the hands of German troops convinced French generals that their armed forces should forgo their stylish white gloves and pantalons rouges for a more muted look.
-Camouflage is designed to be visually disruptive, this confuses the brain and allows one to disguise themselves from whoever is looking in their direction.
-Camouflage uses two main elements to disguise: color and pattern.
-It is not only used to disguise military forces, but also military equipment.
-Recently, many couples have had camouflage themed weddings including wedding dresses, decorations, and tuxedos.
