Did Army’s Uniforms Provide an Unfair Camo Advantage?

CNN Has confirmed that the DOD is investigating the Army's win over Navy. It is alleged, by an alumnus insider, that the Army cadets purposely selected white uniform to confuse the Navy.

The same insider insists the SOD is furious and wants blood on the risers.

He is also implying the DOJ is investigating SOD Jim Mattis for unlawful command influence intervention in this contentious Navy-Army game investigation.

Sound Off: Did Army’s Uniforms Provide an Unfair Camo Advantage?

Military.com 10 Dec 2017 By Under the Radar

The Army Black Knights won the 2017 Army-Navy Game 14-13 on Saturday at Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field and took home their first Commander in Chief's trophy since 1996. Maybe "Black" should be in quote marks because the team sported gleaming white head-to-toe "Pando Commando" uniforms honoring the 10th Mountain Division.

Did Army anticipate the swirling snowstorm that dominated the game or did they just get lucky? CBS television announcers joked about how hard it was for them to see the Army players on the field and Navy's Blue Angels-inspired gear was probably visible from space against the snow-covered field.

Wasn't going to comment until I saw Vance Johnson, Broncos Coach on the news saying he couldn't watch that game.

Poetic justice and an irony of perspective. A soldier depends on delineating small anomalies within the environment while it seems some sailors can't spot container ship if it's right in front of them.

Because their camo works so good for spotting someone who's accidentally gone into the ocean.
