I believe it was just of those in WWII who made rooms that deceived by appearing to be merely walls. I believe it is just to deceive our enemies by dressing up our soldiers in camouflage clothing that says, "I am not here, I am just vegetation" instead of the far less deceptive British red coats... etc.
