Sir,
Well, I don't wanna argue with the DS
, but whether I can do better or not isn't relevant in regards to the
truth of my statement. Likewise, if someone's profile states "secret super-commando" or "member of Canada's Elite Forces", does it make what they say
more true? No. We have to consider statements on their own merits.
When considering whether my statements are true, we should look at the photo and compare their attempts at personal camouflage with CF doctrine as layed out in BGL-392-009/FP-001 - Fieldcraft,
available online from the Army Electronic Library in PDF format. BGL-364-001/FP-001 - Land Force Counter-Surveillance is another very useful text on this subject.
While the fellows are clearly on exercise (why else would they be posing for photos?), it behooves them to practice their fieldcraft skills at every available opportunity as their lives will likely depend on it. Like an imagery analyst once told me, "I'll trust my eyes before I trust other sources", and my eyes tell me these two are less camouflaged than they could be.
