Just a friendly reminder that the single most common form of color blindness
is red-green.
To those who have it, red things look just like gray things, as do green
ones.

So, by that rule, colour-blind people become invulnerable to missile fire.
I can see those color-sensors fading right now...  :)

As an aside, given that the Cold War and the Indian Wars are over
(except for the Seminoles, I think that's just an informal,
long-lasting ceasefire), we really don't need to add
to the "red-bashing" that has gone before us.

Next thing you know, combat archers would be called "Reds".
Those who like combat archers would be called "Pinkos"; and we
would have J. Edgar Hoover's ghost dragged out of <expletive deleted>
to investigate known Monarchist Sympathizers
    - a crime for which we are all most assuredly guilty.
