Mmmm. Works nicely. This might be the basis of a uniform for Doolittle's
officers/marines (unless you have something grander in mind for them Bruce).
An élite group of seaborne shock troops, ready to land and wreak havoc,
always accomplishing their missions, kissing all the ladies, and stealing
all the rum in sight on the side. The navy seals were probably based on
these guys, the Pirate..... um..... Walruses? (after the charming
moustaches?).
