Once read that an army patrol in the jungle is more likely to spot an ambush if the point man is colour blind, because they can pick out more detail.
Also read that a patrol is more likely to survive an ambush if it has left handed gun men in it because they hold the gun with the barrel pointing to the right, whereas a totally right handed patrol would be more vulnerable on the right hand side. Pity us lefties have to use the SA80A2, which is only right handed.
