Why do we paint our refueling trucks green? Shouldn't they be painted to match the concrete so they are less vulnerable to air attack in say, Korea, and also keep the fuel a little cooler? I mean, do we really go driving these things out in the woods that much? Is painting them green gonna save them from a terrorist or SOF attack? The Korean AF paints theirs grey-maybe they're on to something...

Better than the bright yellow they used to be painted!

If you look closely you'll see the rear end of a C-27J with 130J engines, a CASA type fuselage and the A350 nose.
