And to think that there is always someone in the military's camouflage department thinking up new patterns when nature has been setting the example for us all along.
During WWII, while on a bivouac at Ft. Hood, someone put a rattlesnake in my Father's sleeping bag. He didn't get to far into the sleeping bag before he heard the rattle.
There was only one man laughing in the group. My Father figured that he was the culprit and beat the shit out of him.
The next day they were both standing in front of the 1SG, who asked; "Why did you beat this man up?"
My Dad responded that the turd-ball put a rattlesnake in his sleeping bag.
The 1SG responded; "I would have done the same thing. Now both of you get out of my sight."
Edit: Nowadays, my Father would have been court-martialed and the other soldier counseled.
