the point of camo for a soldier is to obscure their position from the enemy. camo in an urban environment is completely different, and this forest green or desert pattern is functionally useless.

I had several former coworkers who had leadership roles at big companies. They said it was a "survival trait" to make emails incomprehensible when you hit a certain level. It's a trained, cultural behavior.
