   Hi, Dallas Hinton! -> Alexander Koryagin   
   I read your message from 28.12.2020 12:30   
      
    AK>> What did the author mean in "I had the feeling that for two   
    AK>> pins he'd have been in front of a mirror, slapping   
    AK>> camouflage paint on to his face."?   
      
    DH> If you've ever seen a war movie where the soldiers have faces   
    DH> painted in swirls and stripes (usually dark and light green)   
    DH> this is camoflauge paint. It's intended to prevent their faces   
    DH> from showing when they're in the jungle. They would be wearing   
    DH> similar coloured clothing, also. As a point of interest, they   
    DH> wear (and paint) white for use in heavy snow conditions!   
      
   But how can I connect it to "two pins"?   
      
   Bye, Dallas!
