CF Leopard deployment

Three cheers to the Leopard Squadron deployment!!,probably had something to do with the Dutch Pzh2000 performance over there.Maybe the CAF shouldn't have gotten rid of its M109's.Why dont the lads get a flight of F-18's for CAS?In an Infantry slogging battle,its incredulous that a equipped force such as the CAF,hasn't provided overwhelming fire support.Anyways my reason for posting,has more to do with psy-ops.As some more enlightened members may know,Muslims are not allowed idolatry,during the Crusades,they were in awe of the Franks large multicolored flags with symbolic patterns.Hence I propose that the Leopards going over be given a heavily symbolic,phantasmagoric,psychedelic type paint scheme,replete with large equally garish flags flying from the turret.This should have an effect of bemusing these simple peasant folk,lining their sights on one of these Leos,they would be confounded and bewildered,thereby hesitating to fire,giving our brave lads the extra few seconds to mow them down or alternatively crushing them under the treads.Here is an example:

Personally, i think Jimmy Hendrix looks great on the side of a main battle tank.
