The Army..?

They do this because people they believe are in authority over them tell them to. That in itself is spooky if you really think about it, but spooky or not, we can't have army based costumes as serious contenders at WHQ. They have the same status as cowboys, which is low. No blood here either, so it's even lower for these poor chaps... Army, cowboys, blacking up - the three big nos at WHQ at any time.
