Re: "Defeating Thermal"
Good information, I have been using thermals from the 90s on, but have not seen the newer garments.
These are photos of thermals set up you could see in 3D to judge distance, a company I was VP of developed in 2010-13.

Yeah without a rangefinder, thermal isn't all that easy to use. I have one with a rangefinder built in, which is nice. I could easily see and identify a raccoon at 525 yards, which I could never do in daylight using a regular visible-light scope, since it was walking in corn-stubble. But the thermal made the outline crisp enough to tell it wasn't a groundhog or cat or whatever. What I couldn't have told without the rangefinder (or in that particular case, knowing the dimensions of the cornfield), was the range.
