French Pre-Cammo Photo

I shold have noted in edit remarks, but removed Image:Musee-de-lArmee-IMG 0981.jpg as it does not illustrate any species of camouflage, and is as innapropriate to the article as any other image of military uniforms worn before the concept of camouflage was applied (such as the red tunics of British Army regiments of foot). A photograph of the first French attempt at a general- or limited-issue camouflage (a field-blue, as I recall) would be appropriate.

Hi. I am the guy who added the picture. Well, the text mentions this uniform:

At the beginning of World War I, the French retained red (garance) trousers as part of their uniform.

My rationale is that a specially bad (camouflage wise) uniform is worth showing, just as a counterpoint.

But, yes, you have a point. I suggest to add the text I added in the picture (above) to make clear that uniform was pre-camouflage.

Any suggestions? Randroide 07:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Better links?

I was surprised to find that there are so few links on camouflage. The Rangermade link may have the best camouflage ever devised--but there are no pictures of this camouflage anywhere on that page, and it seems to me that a link from a camouflage article should contain samples of camouflage, not articles with no pictures. I've got nothing against articles, but military camouflage is a very visual subject. I've removed this link and replaced it with an article on ghillie suits. This seems to be what the Rangermade page is describing. 128.123.86.26 00:48, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

USA camo

The section entitled "United States" is mostly not about the US. In fact, only one sentence is. If somebody could remedy that, that would be great.--Nashaii 20:35, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Digital Camo

The photo in the Digital Camo section has nothing to do with Digital Camo. Tmaull 13:13, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

No, it doesn't it looks like normal camo (unless he is so hidden we can't find him) 24.196.115.179 22:59, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

yea the picture is a picture of digital desert camo if you look real close.
