But men must make themselves fit in to a cookie cutter mold. Off goes the beard. Hair must be clipped short. Don't stand out. Don't be different. Be a cog or a gear in the machine just like everybody else. Wear your uniform and fit in or you WILL be punished.

Some men don't have what it takes to deal with this sort of pressure.

Best version, only one I could find right now. They're all cookie cutter in uniform. Look at their faces. See the fight. They're all POWs behind German lines. You know the Germans are standing well back and nowhere near them when the lights go out. Remember, it's what's inside that counts, you're always going to be outnumbered, outgunned: then what?

Some people are going to need help with this, we should be there.
