besides, it's World War IV that'll be fought with sticks and stones, not World War IIIIsn't that future history?
or at least some military organizations within larger armed forces for a given country (perhaps based on nationality or reputation) use warpaint as an unofficial part of their uniforms, such as woad being used by Scottish units in the British armed forces. going on the reputation thought i mentioned, it could perhaps be based on fictional characters. in a dictatorship, for instance, a unit which is known for having a sick sense of humor could draw inspiration for their warpaint from none other than the Joker, kinda like this from the first Call of Duty: Black Ops (this was a personal favorite of mine when i played the game despite going against all other traits of my fictional characterization)Have somehow an african / american nation who never really get colonialized by Europeans survive and trying to westernize their military...Only for looking at the flamboyant 19th century uniforms and go thinking, if those are highly visible at the battlefield, why not having some traditional face paints pitched in to appease the traditionalists?![]()
The functionality of this kind of war paint seems dubious. Wikipedia claims some Latin American militaries do use Indian war paint on a regular base on parade, but the link to the Mexican Parachute Brigade with this picture is the only source.
I think some use face paint as camouflage.
Didn't some US Airborne troops in WWII use Native American style war paint?
I could see Bolivia doing this, to emphasise their native Amerindian roots.

Perhaps something like this?
