Back in WW2 it was found that colorblind soldiers were often better at spotting things that didn't belong and things that people were trying to conceal. People who see colors can be distracted and confused by colors. People who can't see colors can sometimes catch subtle differences in tone that are easily missed. I wonder if they have a similar advantage at spotting IEDs.
Good point. The military also used colorblind people to look at aerial photographs, they aren't fooled by camouflage, they can spot the patterns very quickly.
We also make good snipers....
I spend almost zero time thinking about color, but look for movement, shape, shine, shadow, and etc.
Now if the target is so obliging as to wear a construction safety vest, I won't try to stop him......
Of course, our clothes rarely match, and our socks never. I think they need to invent "Garanimals" for adults....
This is why I must never upset the wife BEFORE getting dressed in the morning.
