WHY?

Lovely chaps and I'm sure if they had a tranquil Spa with some essential oils over at Guantanamo, they wouldn't look that dilapidated and shabby. I always wondered what's up with those full fledged beards. I mean it's a must for any serious believer, but it must be a bitch when there's a reason to wear a gas mask.

You walk into any US Embassy and you'll see the undercover Seals straight away as they all sport them. It's an old tradition of the Special Forces it seems, no matter where they're from ....




Those are the first British SAS chaps from the second world war. I was told that they, the Seals, are the only guys in the army who are allowed to sport those beards so they blend in better into their surroundings, which I guess means any down town Souk or running among a bunch of Arabs pretending to belong.

Yeah right, it's like shaving one of those boys above and telling everybody he is now Bjorn's brother from Iceland.

Or as you will surely know, and one of my favourite scenes from Team America, where they give that deep plastic surgery to the actor and his resemblance to a terrorist is just so .... uncanny.

Truly classic moment!
