Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.

I dunno, the English have been a constant delight in Wales. Alright there was that time in the mid 1800s that they decided the Welsh language was evil and made Welsh people stupid because Welsh school children weren't passing exams. Though they were being taught in English and only understood Welsh but that's by the by. It did allow English people living in Wales to complain about the cost of bilingual signs because "no one in Wales speaks Welsh." which is a :discourse: level of dickishness. Also in the late 60s stole £150,000 from the Aberfan Disaster Memorial Fund. Other than that (and some other minor quibbles), utter delights.

But the Free Wales Army (Fe godwn ni eto) did plot to kill Prince Charles so all square really.
