Is that four stars on his helmet or three?

The Americans on both fronts looked better than their Allied friends, IMO. The Americans seemed to follow the principle “Form Follows Function” in designing their military garb and IMO ended up looking more functionally prepared and smarter in their gear.

That’s compared to the other Allies, esp Britain. The Germans, on the other hand, came pretty close, but I still think the Americans’ gear had a better design.

Interesting, you know back in George Washington’s day, looking good and being well-dressed for battle and command was highly attended to.
