That’s when I’ll be very glad if they are all still dressed in black.

Early in the Iraqi war, the “Fedayeen Saddam” liked to wear their black fatigues. The black uniforms used to strike terror into the civilians!

The Marines laughingly called it “Shoot Me Black.”

Black uniforms didn’t stay popular for long, once Marines were shooting at them.

Black uniforms and all that other “tactical” crap is fine for scaring people who are inclined to be scared.

To others...not so much. It just pisses those folks off...and typically, they’re folks you DON’T want pissed off at you.

“...once Marines were shooting at them....”

And besides...that’s what Marines do. They LIVE for it. :^)
