May I use this?


Question, why does the armed forces use these pathetic swords? Why not something like an indigenous, arabian, Turkish swords or even the katana? These look dumb.

Yara,

The military does not have the time to retrofit all aspects of its traditions to be more "arabized". Nobody bothers over such things. There is a tradition and also a practical aspect to using what we use. During drill or on parade, you can well image how hard it would be to handle a scimitar (a sword with a curved blade).

Whether they look dumb or not, that is debatable. One may even say, why drill with a sword in this day and age! :-)

I believe the words "it's cool" works
 
Good for photo shoot maybe, but they need to take cover behind the rocks not become juicy targets on top.
It is for a photo shoot otherwise do you think troops would move with the national colors sticking out of their backs giving away their positions? :-)
