newton: According to a news release from Army, the paint colors where used in previous training to help new soldiers know which tank to aim at.

"Is it ours? I don't know, it's not painted Pink or Purple...."

"Did our lieutenant tell us to shoot at the gay tank or the goth tank?!"

kendelrio: Who's ass? The Platoon Sergeant or the paint booth guy?

Well this was pre-repeal of DADA so officially they would have been talking out of their own asses, however unofficially, I always had suspicions about my PltSgt.

Interesting factoid, typically when a military vehicle is painted the desert tan, when its really fresh it looks almost pepto-bismol pink. After a few days in the desert it has been sun-bleached to the appropriate color.

Or at least that's the reasoning my old Platoon Sgt gave me as we passed an element of pink Abrams when we were in Kuwait coming home from my last tour. Its entirely possible that the guy running the paint booth was feeling faaaabulous that day and my PltSgt was talking out of his ass.
