Camo clothing appears to be highly mis-applied in a great many cases.
Ever see Navy enlisted wearing blue-white camo? Who are they hiding from on a ship? Their shipmates?
Ever see deer hunters wearing camo? Deer are color blind. Camo is irrelevant to their eyesight. The intent must be to hide from other deer hunters.
Wouldn't make more sense to wear orange so you stand out to other hunters and avoid getting shot by accident?

You're on a ship in the middle of the ocean ... wearing a uniform designed to help you hide in a forest. Apparently, they're intent on justifying "military intelligence" as an oxymoron.
