I keep reading stories about how American bases are being
attacked by Afghanis wearing American uniforms. Well, I have a suggestion that
could end these attacks. It sounds like a joke, but it’s not. Here’s my idea:
The American military in Afghanistan should make American
uniforms in all different colors, and randomly pick which color uniform to wear
each morning on a daily basis. We all know there is pink, lavender, orange,
etc., camouflage cloth available, so just make everyone uniforms in every color
imaginable and simply pin a swatch on the bulletin board every morning of what
color to wear for each day. Then the terrorists will never be wearing the right
stuff, and they will be easy to spot as enemies.
Hey, it’s just an idea. And I know it sounds silly, but I’ll
bet it would work and save lives, even though all the soldiers might feel silly
wearing that stuff. But hey: it’s better than being dead or wounded, right? And
can you see the Taliban wearing pink camouflage uniforms? They’d rather be dead
than wear that, so they will be discouraged from attacking in the future. And
if they’re going to attack us, shouldn’t we make it as humiliating as possible
for them to do it?
