my uniformed opinion of wars

Post by emel.scott » August 7th, 2008, 6:58 pm

I much prefer
the green/brown/black camo
of jungle wars
to the beige/tan/taupe camo
of desert wars

i gave this too quick a read on pib and took it lightly. i'm a goof sometimes. i think it makes a strong, intelligent statement without being dogmatic - that's not easy to do in the political realm, but you have done so, admirably.

yes, nice contrast
I prefer neither
my camo is called
invisibility

I can't be seen on the battlefield
because I'm not there

...strikes me this morning how odd it is that 'uniformed' and 'uninformed' are separated by just one glyph... means nothing of course.

The whole fact that we know camo exists illustrates how useless it is!

militar officers in office blocks wear camo... they wear green, black... camo like they were in a jungle! shouldn't they wear beige and white camo to blend in with the PCs and boring white walls?

If I were a camel I'd like a flag sticking out of my hump. I'm not a fan of flags. I like the canadian flag though. So, maybe I'd like to wave the canadian flag from my watery hump. Call it my camel-flag.

SmileGRL- frayed is good, threadbare bad (on second thought, maybe not so bad :P )

Thanks for noticing mnaz, if Doreen had karma points I would give you one.

I know I started this thread Bennie but I'm beginning to find this whole discussion fatiguing... :D
