Looks like they've camouflaged their leggings and helmets? And maybe clothing. It's hard to see on my phone. But looks like paint splotches.

Yes it does. As for the rest...a tactical update in the middle of an operation...

I read they did that in haste when reading "Ghost Mountain Boys" in New Guinea. They described putting the uniforms back on with the dye still wet...

i saw this on a thread somewhere having to do with why the policy was you aren't supposed to sharpen a bayonet.
A dull bayonet does more damage.
The guy at top left demonstrates why this is a smart policy.

Swords blades were not supposed to be sharpened as when a blow was struck, if the blade was sharp it could imbed in a bone and be hard to withdraw. Same reason why bayonets shouldn't be sharpened and also it could prevent further entry. Ray

Armchair all you want. I was infantry for 35 years, I don't know where you get these ideas...they certainly aren't military policy. Blades are even issued sharp now. All of them. Let it rest. It's just opinion.
