Did they use color blind people as snipers in the cold war?

Yes, during the Cold War, color-blind individuals were sometimes used as snipers, particularly by the military, because their inability to distinguish certain colors could be advantageous in certain environments. This trait allowed them to remain less detectable in specific camouflage scenariOS, as they might not be distracted by bright colors that could reveal positions. However, the use of color-blind snipers was not widespread and depended on individual circumstances and assessments.
