Ghillie camo suits

RE: Ghillie camo suits
Right.....

I didnt know that but having a look at the Geneva Convention I see it now.

The exact definition of "lawful combatant" has been subject to a number of discussions in view of a number of public military conflicts in the 2000s, including the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Because many of the people fighting do not have uniforms it is claimed that they do not display a "fixed distinctive sign recognisable at a distance" are not entitled to the protections of the Geneva Convention as they are not "lawful combatants" (see unlawful combatant). Problems with such distinctions include the status of snipers and special forces, who wear clothing such as Ghillie suits which are specifically intended to prevent identification of them at a distance and who seek to avoid being visible until the time of their attack.
