The first guy on the left seems disappointed in his football team.

The neat part about this photo is that there are actually nine soldiers in the frame. The two up front were just the worst two for putting on the camo.

Not sure whether you are serious.

I take comedy very seriously. Tomfoolery is no laughing matter.

Good camouflage. You can't even tell they're French.

Where? I don’t see no soldiers.

To be fair that is likely orthographic film, which reacts only to blue light and is very high contrast, which probably makes the camo stand out more.

The Ghostface DLC for Hunt we should have got.

Cagoules (cowls) were the term used by the French to refer to these paint camouflaged outfits. French artillery troops begin to make the outfits themselves after realizing that enemy planes could spot them from the air.
