HOOK (first 3 seconds spoken):
US soldiers would glue reflective strips to their helmets before going into night

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FULL SCRIPT:
US soldiers would glue reflective strips to their helmets before going into night battles. You see, these were later called cat eyes, and they reflected just enough moonlight for soldiers to see each other. This helped them recognize their comrades in the dark and avoid friendly fire while still taking down the enemy.
