Hi, Dallas Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin
I read your message from 28.12.2020 12:30
AK>> What did the author mean in "I had the feeling that for two
AK>> pins he'd have been in front of a mirror, slapping
AK>> camouflage paint on to his face."?
DH> If you've ever seen a war movie where the soldiers have faces
DH> painted in swirls and stripes (usually dark and light green)
DH> this is camoflauge paint. It's intended to prevent their faces
DH> from showing when they're in the jungle. They would be wearing
DH> similar coloured clothing, also. As a point of interest, they
DH> wear (and paint) white for use in heavy snow conditions!
But how can I connect it to "two pins"?
Bye, Dallas!
