In Camouflage or Afghan Veil, a Fragile Bond

ABDUL GHAYAS, Afghanistan — Two young female Marines trudged along with an infantry patrol in the 102-degree heat, soaked through their camouflage uniforms under 60 pounds of gear. But only when they reached this speck of a village in the Taliban heartland on a recent afternoon did their hard work begin.

Seems like a nice piece of innovative thinking on the "hearts and minds" front. It makes me wonder why some of this sort of thing hadn't been tried before.
