[size=32]It’s illegal to wear camouflage in 20 countries.[/size] |
For those in the military, camouflage can be the difference between life and death. For those who simply think it looks cool, it’s considerably less essential. With that in mind, it makes a certain amount of sense that 20 countries have banned civilians from wearing it. Those nations are Antigua and Barbuda, Azerbaijan, the Bahamas, Barbados, Dominica, Ghana, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Nigeria, Oman, the Philippines, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. In some cases this is because civil unrest has given rise to paramilitary organizations, and any civilian wearing camo could be mistaken for a member of such groups or even of the actual armed forces — a potentially dangerous scenario in which to find oneself. The regulations for wearing camo differ greatly between countries, however. Some, such as Trinidad and Tobago, ban all forms of military-style camouflage (even styles clearly worn for fashion), while others, such as South Africa, ban only the specific patterns used by their military. |
