Quote (jeffox @ July 19 2008,23:58) | I write this because, just the other day, a Viet Nam vet and I were talking, and he told me that when he was "in country" his unit used to select snipers with red-green color blindness because of their enhanced ability to spot enemy snipers in the thick, green foliage native to SE Asia.

Along the same lines, I've read that during WWII, the Army Air Corps selected color-blind crewmen as bombardiers because they were less likely to be fooled by camouflaged targets.
