Comments on: Color-Blind Observers for National Defense http://www.colblindor.com/2010/06/02/color-blind-observers-for-national-defense/ Color Blindness viewed through Colorblind Eyes Mon, 02 Jan 2012 18:38:03 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.3 By: Karl http://www.colblindor.com/2010/06/02/color-blind-observers-for-national-defense/comment-page-1/#comment-90965 Karl Sun, 08 Aug 2010 16:19:54 +0000 http://www.colblindor.com/?p=1528#comment-90965 Am already familiar with these articles (just FYI) prior to posting here. Already have a computer file folder crammed with them. While suggestive, not one has the necessary specificity originally requested. I'd like to quote myself (once more): "I’m currently trying to discover if the myth about colorblind snipers is true or not. Perusing the few related military discussion boards, opinions vary. Would you happen to know one way or the other?" If someone can answer that question via a first-hand personal account I'd be interested. More studies or research like the previous, however, I would not. Am already familiar with these articles (just FYI) prior to posting here. Already have a computer file folder crammed with them.

Camouflage, designed to deceive the normal eye, fooled him not a whit. The explanation: the artilleryman, selected under less rigorous examination than the Air Corps man, was colorblind.
