No one charges a machine-gun nest because they want to.I have little doubt that this is to instill discipline.
I once heard it said that "discipline is only necessary where something stands to be lost through its absence". And nowhere is more to be lost than in the field of warfare - namely, life itself.
I have not served in the forces myself, but I understand that discipline there extends far beyond personal appearance - to uniform, firearms maintenance, an orderly bunk; to all areas of service life, in fact.

So what else is new?Simply Put..Its All Part of the Ruling Class Plutonic Bullshit..They Just Call it Capitalism these Days..Kids to School at 5 to be Disciplined & Brainwashed for the Capitalist Mode of Production..School Uniform..Conformity..University State Sanctioned Courses & Corrupt Western Scientific Methods..
The Civilian Workforce are Just a Number & Cannon Fodder for the Ruling Elite..From the Cradle to the Grave..

I am fiercely proud of my service career because it made me the man I am.
I am never late
I always have clean shoes
My shirts and trousers are always pressed
and I have never stabbed a work colleague in the back - something I see all too often in the workplace.
Discipline and respect are sadly lacking from the modern world.
A perfect example of discipline and respect that is paramount in the Services was the time when I was duty NCO and a group of 8 slightly tipsy Royal Marines decided they would do naked drill. I was called out and I marched them to their barracks without a word of complaint. I was the NCO, they did as they were told and their drill was excellent.
Truth.And if you wear wellies, you can put their back feet into them to stop them running away.
Queen's Regulations Ch 5, Part 9, Para 5.366
"Hair:
Males. The hair of the head is to be kept well cut and trimmed, except where authority has been granted otherwise on religious grounds; style and colour (if not natural) is not to be of an exaggerated nature. If a moustache is worn, it is to be trimmed and not below the line of the lower lip. Beards and whiskers are only to be worn with authority, which will usually be granted only on medical or religious grounds, or where tradition permits. The appearance of the beard and whiskers is to be neat and tidy."
