The United States is fighting a war to preserve liberty
and protect the world from terrorism. Other nations
dress up male models in stylized military garb to
parade before the fashion press.

From Men's Fashion Week in Milan, earlier this month,
this outfit neatly conveys the readiness of France,
Spain, Italy and Germany to defeat the jihadists.

Then there's this au courant lover of liberty, grittily
soldiering through fashion week in Sao Paolo, Brazil.

This guy, I'm told, commanded an
Italian unit for a few weeks, early
on, in Iraq.
