"A male Liberian government soldier, wearing female clothes and a wig, stands guard at the Irongate checkpoint in the capital of Monrovia on July 8."
"According to the soldiers themselves, cross-dressing is a military mind game, a tactic that instills fear in their rivals. It also makes the soldiers feel more invincible. This belief is founded on a regional superstition which holds that soldiers can “confuse the enemy’s bullets” by assuming two identities simultaneously. Though the accoutrements and garb look bizarre to Western eyes, they are, in a sense, variations on the camouflage uniforms and face paint American soldiers use to bolster their sense of invisibility (and, therefore, immunity) during combat. Since flak jackets or infrared goggles aren’t available to the destitute Liberian fighters, they opt for evening gowns and frilly blouses."
Somehow I do not think that the bullets are the ones that are getting confused. My bullets would absolutely find their mark if I was up against those abominations.
