Iceking has it right... The Human eye looks for familier shapes. thats why the best camo suits (the Ghillie Suit) not only is camoflaged but also breaks up the human outline as well.
Seeing and Preceiving are two seperate things.
When you look at a scene you eye "Sees" everything in its field of view.
But your Brain only perceives that which it thinks is important.
To a human brain, the human shape is important and will stand out of any background easily.
Human perception naturally categorizes things in the world as separate objects. When you look at a scene, you are gathering an immense amount of information with your eyes and other senses. In order for your conscious mind to make any sense out of this information, your brain has to break it down into component parts. When your brain perceives a long, vertical area of brown with green blotches connected to it, you perceive a tree. And when your brain perceives many, many individual trees in a given area, you perceive a forest.
When you look at any given area, you are not looking in detail, your brain only scans for the most significant (to the brain's interpretation) details. If I were to glance into someones unfamilier study... I might note the desck, chair, computer, couch etc... but not the details of what is sitting on the desk, etc.. I might note that the desk is cluttered or clear, but no details of what is actually on the desk. it is only when I conciously look to see what is on the desk that more details become apparent.
Here is a photo of a grassy wooded area. at first glance nothing is apparent at all. but when I tell you to look for a sniper you may then see the open scope and barrel in the center of the photo. Once you see the Scope and Barrel your brain tells you there must be a person there holding it. only NOW does your brain say... "OH there he is!" and you can now see the shape of a man laying down behind the rifle wearing a Ghillie suit.

Thats my serious answer.
My Flippant one would be.
No, because the midget would be yelling "Da Plane, boss, da plane!"

No, the camo makes the difference. Remember, human eyes look for shapes, not specific sizes. That's because an fobject at 100 yards appears the same size as an object 4 times the size at 200 yards.

But what benifits would such a short soldier bring to the force, who will help him over the walls, up the stairs, co-ordination in movement is dificult for the physicaly challenged!
Getting them up into and out of vehicles would be a problem, all the equipment would have to be redesigned, arms to short to hold a rifle or even carry it!!
