ZABUL PROVINCE, Afghanistan — More than six years after sending the first Stryker armored vehicles into desert combat, the Army has decided that it’s probably a good idea to start painting them tan so they will blend in with the environments in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Well geez - how lame is that? Of course, it's not that simple.
- The Strykers were only sent to Afghanistan a few months ago.
- Not everything in Afghanistan is desert. A lot of the fighting happens in 'green' areas.
- A lot of fighting in Iraq is in urban terrain. Brown or green, it's a 17-ton vehicle driving down the street. It's going to be noticed.
