South Bound
Personally I think personal appearance is important. It is why we wear uniform, keep our hair short, shave daily
Not true actually. Uniforms were originally intended to enable the identification of friendly forces on the battlefield and have since become a method of personal concealment. Shaving and keeping hair short was for hygiene purposes - it prevented the spread of fleas and lice and subsequently allowed medics to treat wounds without having to remove hair from the area.
If the military were all about looking good we'd go to war in DJs
