In Jarhead and Generation Kill, why do soldiers cover their scopes so there is only a small opening?

Is this to prevent too much light from entering the scope or cut down on glare?



It is to keep the glare to a minimum (or eliminate) as to not accidentally give their position away. Also, it is nice to use during the daylight because it acts as an aperture control (for the covers with a small hole) for the lense, since you don't want all the light during the day to come in (such as on a camera lense) and to help protect all of their optics from exposure damage over time to sunlight, especially UV light.

Great shows by the way. If I remember seeing scope covers in Band of Brothers, I assume they would have been complete coverings and the small holes were only seen on the rifle scopes in Generation Kill. Difference obviously in technolgoy with 60 years between the wars.
