Troy,

Hehehe - this is more unimportant than 1095 vs 440C vs SV30 vs 357 vs 12 ga.. whatever the answer is, none of us can change our eyes out anyway, so why get excited about it in this venue? Learning to get the most out of what we have is far more relevant.

I wonder if there is a correlation between various reactions to my innocent comment and eye color.... nah, more wasted bandwidth.

Anyway, so far all I get are nothing more than what I already wrote; none make reference to specific source data. If there is a significant body of evidence, it most likely belongs to the USA DoD (could be any service, but I'll wager the Army would have had the broadest interest). I'm guessing that the data, if it exists, is in the mid-WWII to mid-VietNam date range - for what I hope are obvious reasons.

I'm going to bounce back to John and Avatar's questions and let more skilled/persistent searchers seek the truth on the matter of eye color (hope someone nails it down).
