You Look Marvelous

Apparently, it is not better to look good than to feel good:

Russia's sharp new military uniforms, created by a top fashion designer, have landed hundreds in the hospital after proving too thin to withstand ferocious winter cold, a state daily said Wednesday.

The high heels didn't work out that well, either.

But I'm not pointing fingers. We have berets, after all.

UPDATE: Strategypage writes about this. It may not really be the lethality of the new uniform as much as it is the lethality of being a soldier in the old corruption-ridden Russian army.
