Why Are The Marines So Stylish?

About this video

He argues that Marines’ elegance stems from rigorous physical fitness standards, strict grooming and uniform regulations documented in a 250-page dress code manual, simplified and interchangeable uniform designs, meticulous tailoring of all garments, and deep respect for the Corps’ historical traditions reflected in iconic uniform elements dating back centuries.
