An olive drab Leica is more than tacky - it could be fatal. Imagine you 
are in a combat zone, particularly in a third world area where 
everything is highly charged and unstable. You are stopped by troops. 
You have an army green camera. Ergo, you are a combatant.

An exaggeration? I doubt it.

Sal? Ted? George? Emanuel? Would you like to be caught alive carrying 
military colored cameras?;-)
