Living near the Army’s Yakima Training Center in Washington, I often see tanks and other military vehicles perform maneuvers in the nearby hills.  One day I noticed a whole crowd of tanks and jeeps, along with the tents and personnel, camped in a valley just off the freeway.  The vehicles and tents were painted with camouflage colors, and also covered with nets and brush in order to conceal them from view.  The scene would never have caught my eye----if it weren’t for the brightly colored outhouses scattered across the entire camp.
