Things that make you go wtf
I am blessed with a vast array of inciteful, intelligent, well-read, well-educated, open-minded, creative friends on my LJ, so I need to harness the collective genius of my friends list. Because if you live anywhere near a navy base (and, you know, are in the US) you will have seen this:
Navy 'work' Camouflage Uniform
Look at it. Look. Then come back here. I'll wait...
No, really look at it.
Okay. Wtf. They're sailors, right? So that uniform is...kinda blue. They don't paint the ships blue. Nor camouflage. They paint them grey or titanium white, basically. So when is this camouflage ever, ever going to come in handy? It's made to hide you...and sailors wear it...and it's the color of water...
Where did the 'think tank' that came up with this idea spend that money? I mean...how is this a good thing for a sailor to wear? Isn't this basically going to get them killed if they fall over the ship...because they'll be, you know, camouflaged? I'm so confused. How did this get approved? Who didn't think to themselves...gee, maybe we don't want the sailors to be the same color as the water...when the ship isn't even that color...
I just...what? How did someone get paid to make this happen. I mean, you know our government spent millions debating if this was a good idea or not, and changing all the old uniforms and...why?
