pixel camouflage

Why is so much modern camouflage made of squares? Is that for the digital age? To help them blend in on the internet or what?

I like to think they're being nostalgic for 8-bit gaming.

Wikipedia doesn't make much of a case for it, other than that it's easy. Like a shitty PhotoShop job, I guess.

Does make printing easier, but effectiveness is open to debate.

Was watching that Chinese military parade (apparently it's a national holiday, and a fine distraction from their tumbling stockmarket), and they've painted squares all over all sorts... but really big squares on some things.

I've seen the pixellated gear around town. It's not too stealthy in Panda Express.

Confusing the issue is that I've recently found out that at least some parts of the F-35 Lightning II have Q.R. codes printed on them.

That works incredibly well.

Now all they have to do is cover the entire battlefield in really ugly sofas and they'll be able to move around completely invisible to the enemy.
