Cowboys. They have chaps. and hats. and say things politely.

Sailor hats are actually quite silly looking, so are their pants. (well the American Sailors who aren’t borrowing clothes from the Army have silly pants. Sailors only wear cammo because they know how stupid looking their pants are.)

Heh. I didn’t pull that trump card because the USN doesn’t have any of those still in commission.
