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!
