They should be wearing “I’m With Stupid” pointing up t shirts.l
It’s their uniform. MIB.
——They stand out as targets.——
I think that is the least of their concerns...l
I’m no expert, but taking a sniper shot at them would be difficult if not impossible since the sniper nest would be very far off due the nature of how DC is set up...
Dude, these guys shot to death a woman who made a u-turn in the white house driveway and even prior, allowed several fence climbers to roam around.
There’s still a bunch of nut jobs getting on property, you would think the SS would figure out the first 2 months - 1 year are the most hazardous.
Lastly, an agent just left a laptop with sensitive information on it. Hearsay say’s it was strapped to the back of her motorcycle.
So no. I don’t think they tried matching the ninja costumes of the SS to the color of the white house background.
They want to be seen
because it’s after Labor Day.
To the majority of people, guys in black uniforms with masks and body armor look intimidating. The agents you do see are meant as a deterrent as much as anything else. Pretty basic and obvious. I was living on a military base during 9/11. Before 9/11, the gate was guarded by one guy, often in service uniform and never with a visible weapon. Starting the day after 9/11, the gate was guarded by half a dozen sailors in camo with M4's and shotguns. Which do you suppose was a more effective deterrent?
They want you to know that they’re there - you don’t see the people you’d have to worry about if you had bad intentions.
anti camouflage.
There are times when you WANT the potential attacker to know that you have a presence.
Having worked I DC for my entire adult life I can tell you that they’ve always worn black and they are meant to be seen. They usually are seen when somebody is having a rooftop function near the white house. When the president ial helicopter Lsnds they just tell people to stay off their roofs.
Because evryone wants to be a ninja.
Not generally known:
Ninjas were ineffective when the rich guys had Archers in house. They were far better than the Ninjas. Quite lethal.
Why do you think all the ones that are there are the ones you see? Just sayin’...
White in day time. Black in night time.
Because it’s the standard uniform, and they’re ordered to wear them?
Because black has always been the traditional dress of the SS?
What difference does it make what they wear if they can’t spot intruders coming over the fence?
In all of the old ‘spaghetti’ westerns the villains always wore black? HA!
