Theoretically they are supposed to dampen thermal imaging, which leaves
the ones that don't, the hands, feet, head etc. My point is that 99% of
the grunts on the field DON'T have access to such things. Only special
op units, some squad, maybe platoon, more likely COMPANY commanders will
have access to them. At Ft. Benning we tried requesitioning some for
training mind you. Do you think we could get them? Noo....
