#5 Well. The anti-war liberals may now have a war they like, being the lefties are for gays in the militaries. This is a close as an group of Islamic rebels will come to that for sure.

#8 OK, now its turned stupid.

Everyone who wanted to know what Overlord would be like today, well here you go...really expect Team Daffy to not get wind of this? Jimminy Cricket anyone play no-rule paintball 101? Dirty Dozen? Did everyone sign in, don't forget your badges.

But putting on a uniform makes one not a civilian, so plain clothes in the cameras please, for UN and try-letter news sakes.

#11 In my day it was easy. If it had a weapon and any kind of uniform, including casual attire, that was different to ours, it got slotted. Now we can shoot at anything that has pink on it, or....not? I get so confused, the rules and colours keep changing like almost for the first HD3D Television War with time sold as advertising in the breaks.
It's what the sleepers in the West don't know yet... to their detriment, uniforms are a craven issue. If they refuse to identify themselves as their own, they will all be treated the same.

#12 Well, that was a relatively incoherent remark.

#13 Sprockets are not sequins.

#14 And thus it is demonstrated yet again why groups of combatants choose a "uniform" which makes them identifiable on the battlefield.

Terribly sorry, dear. The rebels somehow couldn't find enough time to trot down to Al-Neiman Marcus and put an ensemble together. Why, the poor dears have to share weapons - or wait until another rebel dies so they can take theirs.

Perhaps some eurodesigner can come up with a logo and a smart yet functional uniform. Maybe some of the lefties that have been supporting the o-so-chic Mexican terrorist-savant pipesmoker, sub-commander Marcos? Or maybe FARC can loan out their tailor?
