Does Your Holiness Standard Do This?

I often hear our holiness standard compared to a military uniform (unity, identification, etc.). Keep that analogy in mind when reading this quote by Austrian-Jewish novelist Hermann Brochdard: "A uniform provides its wearer with a definitive line of demarcation between his person and the world … [C]losed up in his hard casing, braced in with straps and belts, he begins to forget his own undergarments and the uncertainty of life."

Hmmmm . . .

Read the entire article analyzing the latest army uniforms here, which includes (at no extra cost) a short history of the American uniform.
