Instead of trying to portray what you think is 'cool', why not do a bit a of research and present to the public what was accurate and correct.

You misquote me sir, I never used the word 'cool'. I've seen several photos of scraggly faced Canadian soldiers over the years, the most well known of which is the picture taken on August 11, 1943 of Sgt. H E Cooper of the 48th Highlanders of Canada which was widely distributed in the press. If you feel the need to quote me again in the future, "historically accurate" would be more appropriate.
