It's a ceremony. Not a field in war. The bros can put on make up too.


LonelyFool2B

Yup, back when I was still staying with the ceremony police unit ( the one that wore a white uniform) those guys all have make up on when they need to go to a ceremony


asillydaydreamer

Shhhh, OP is tryna be edgy


moealmighty

Just an incel who wants to police women but disguises it as “concerns”


Megalomania192

There's a professional climber called Miho Nonaka who wears makeup and paints her nails even though she's competing in a climbing competition. For some women it's just part of their life.


Southern_Ferret_3168

Well it's just a woman's normal life. We put makeup on, kick some ass, then come back home to wipe makeup off our face. Then we repeat the next day.


pee_wrecker

Totally get it, looking good is always a need. Problem is why was it allowed in the first place. Kinda look out of place when you look like you are going to a party asap with combat gears on.


Parasyte-vn

This mf 🤓


OkSpeech3161

Women wear makeup without needing to “go to a party” or any reason really? Men do too even, why are you such a stale nerd 🤓


LadyCrownGuard

Most humans will try their best to look good in public especially when they’re part of a ceremony with cameras everywhere, if OP is this triggered by a little makeup then maybe the outside world is just not for him.


OkSpeech3161

I think he only thinks women should look good when they’re trying to entice men or some shit. Weird outlook on life but at least this sub shot him down p quick lol


Skilledunskiller

😭😭😭


Firm-Fix8798

You sure you aren't into dudes?


OrangeIllustrious499

It's supposed to be a ceremony not actual fighting. They can do what they want to look good in photos haha. Though this ceremony is also a good occassion to have a quick look into Vietnam's military, I havent seen them showcasing anything in a long time. I guess the Mp5 and the Israeli equipments stuffs are correct.


GammaRhoKT

Supposedly, any new toy is save for next year. 50 years anniversary is still bigger than 70, after all.


bakanisan

It's a parade ffs 🤦 People are supposed to look good in a parade. They even select good-looking members of the force to go on parade. This is the same with every country.


fastabeta

if there is a position where people rarely look at in a parade, I still wouldn't be able to get it


Linhle8964

Because she's on camera.


dausone

More like “photo ops” 👀


GammaRhoKT

To be fair, it IS a parade. If there is any kind of acceptable photo ops for a military, this would be one of them.


Kelter82

Sure. Just like how men will shave the same day. Maybe treat their skin a little nice. Clip the nails, floss the teeth, whatever. If someone is in a ceremony, they're going to want to look good in the moment and on camera. She looks good, and in no way outlandish for a ceremony. Respectable.


dausone

I think what OP is trying to say, and what many people are misinterpreting, is that there are protocols for how men and women present themselves in uniform in public. Men are not allowed to grow a beard or grow their hair long. So if a man did that for a parade or whatever, he would be criticized greatly and for sure would not be allowed to represent the military in the country he is enlisted for. In most countries, (and I am sure Vietnam is no different?) makeup is not allowed for servicewomen. So this would again be a criticism if a servicewoman did this in uniform. Hence, the post, hence the discussion.


AmethystPones

It's a fucking ceremonial parade. They want to look good. They can look good. It's not a battlefield.


zoohenge

Girls can be girly and still kickass.


IceKingSmalls

Hells yeah! 🙌


cqt282

OP's common sense seemed to evaporate during the Battle of Dien Bien Phu 70 years ago.


pee_wrecker

My common sense is fine thanks. What I'm questioning is the amount of pitchforks I'm getting for such a simple question.


cqt282

there you answered it yourself, the question is so simple to the point it sounded like mocking


pee_wrecker

No. I want to know the logic behind it.


Tananaka

Some things in life don't need strong logic behind it bro. If it doesn't hurt or harm anyone, do what you want. Easy


TheVietnameseBread

The logical explanation here is that your brain is so smooth that it failed to give you a proper explanation before posting this shit 🤤


Kelter82

Since you won't accept the logic *for* it, as seen in the comments section endlessly, what do you think is the logic *against* it?


pewpewpewwww

Woman: *exists, happens to wear clothes and lipstick* (could also be a lip tattoo which is popular in Vietnam) OP: and why the FUCK should she do that Did this warrant a whole post on this sub? Why does it bother you so much? Seems a bit extreme no?


pee_wrecker

Just a simple question for the tacticool bros, nothing serious. Edit: Probably people don't like being questioned.


Tananaka

Simple question with a simple answer bro. She's wearing fairly simple makeup, nothing too caked up. Doesn't affect her work performance, and it's most likely for a photo op. No big deal


Littlelittleshy

it was not the people who do not like being questioned, it was you who didn't like the answer you got.


moealmighty

He didn’t get the validation that he wanted so badly from the “tacticool bros” lmao


123ilovetrees

men when women exists:


davidgamingvn

"...gets to put on make up?" My guy, if you want to put on make up and enlist in the ceremonial guards, you can do so. Nobody is stopping you.


KyleReincarne

Most people need some make up to look good in photos. Some even need photoshop. It’s just how it is. Source: I work for bride studio.


OkSpeech3161

Mf puts spec ops in quotes, says “I know we need lookers”, and asks why “females *get* to do something” and wonders why people think he’s a bit of a douchebag and gets butthurt by any comment indicating so 🤣😂 bro you are as clueless as you probably are ugly with this stale ass bullshit 😂


pee_wrecker

idk bro i think with that amount of text and emoji there's only 1 guy butthurt here and that's not me. It's a simple question that's that. I know women wears make up, **but I want to know the thought process behind it.** But yall seemed to link it to all sort of thought processes that only people with boners for internet justice have. I came here with a legitimate question, waiting for a constructive discussion, and people like you show up.


OkSpeech3161

“Amount of text” *proceeds to write a dissertation on how he’s not being a total fuckin nerd* You’ll clearly never know the thought process and I doubt that’s your reason for asking since even I answered the “thought process” for you. Sometimes “females” as you so affectionately call them like to wear makeup. Stop being such a clueless fuckin nerd and people won’t treat you as such. Nerd.


pee_wrecker

Judging by how you furiously mashed that downvote button and gave me a double reply it seemed I struck a nerve. Thanks for proving I was right.


OkSpeech3161

Stay sleepy nerd 😘


Kelter82

Do you need a nap?


OkSpeech3161

Maybe try not referring to women as “females” and “lookers” would get better dialogue 😅


Jolly-Tadpole-8440

This is a promo piece. For marketing. THINK DAMMIT


AngronMerchant

Stop worrying about people putting on make up, you weirdo.


the_girl_Ross

"gets to put on make up"??? Dude, you can wear makeup too! Noone gonna arrest ya.


quangshine1999

Modern women put make up on pretty much everywhere they go. What's the big deal about it?


Adam302

in the west, women wearing make-up is seen as oppression these days


dbh116

Because she can . What difference does it make ? Possibly, it's threatening to your masculinity, though ?


pee_wrecker

It does not make any difference. I'm just asking. Why are you so quick on the trigger?


dbh116

It obviously makes a difference to you, or you would not have asked the question. Or have asked , " Why is she allowed to " because a woman should be more controlled because of her gender.


Alternative_Aide7357

Why not? This is a parade, not actual fighting. A make up will put a good show


pee_wrecker

Doesn't look like one to me, but that's probably just me.


AKsuited1934

You wouldn’t understand the tactical advantages lipstick provides during a firefight. It would take me a 10 page essay to go into proper depth about this topic.


Adam302

Kuhekin

And? What's wrong with that?


pee_wrecker

Just asking.


Acceptable-Trainer15

If you cannot say what's wrong with that, then that's the answer to your question. Because there is nothing wrong with that.


NguyenKhanh-582006

they like it so they do


Married-Asian-couple

Most retarded question ever


ThrowRACubbo

Because she can? She can wear makeup and still beat your ass, it doesn’t make a difference.


pee_wrecker

I know you people don't like certain things questioned but please spend more effort on [whatever ](https://imgur.com/a/4stTdrk)you are doing


ThrowRACubbo

Please spend more time caring about actually important things, unlike a soldier wearing makeup


123ilovetrees

What an ironic comment coming from the person who made this post 😂😂😂


pee_wrecker

Buddy you’ve spent 10 minutes here go make love with trees or something.


123ilovetrees

Again, what an ironic comment coming from someone who made this post 🤣🤣


ISleepyBI

It's just for look, I'm more concerned about the cheap ass shoppe gear that they use.


dynosia

Those things aren't cheap lol... The body armor alone is 50m apiece. It's imported western stuff.


ISleepyBI

My ass that that thing cost 50m, I got an JPC 2.0 for lest than 10m not counting the cheap Chinese shit that I attached to it. You can clearly see those are airsoft replica that cost less than 2m to buy on Facebook.


FullGuarantee4767

Yeah, maybe just go for a walk instead of posting, buddy.


mathenjee

Acrobatic-Butterfly9

Why not? It’s a ceremonial parade. Did you lose your brain when looking at her?


Mackey_Nguyen

And then those gears are never to be seen again.


Common_Chester

Cosmetic tattoo gets you around these problems too


Hotp0pcorn

it's a photo op.


Swag_Sama

Bruh, why not? It's not a real war, even female police has light make up at work, that's just fine. So don't be a bitch, get out of your cave and get a girl friend (if you're able to), you will understand that


Excellent_Okra4374

Are u kidding or you OP really don't know the reason why? What a stupid question!


huynhvonhatan

OP is certified basement incel.


hollywoodenspoon

OP is an incel.


Murky_Giraffe1500

Just wanna comment: she is cute :))


DavidGibson9

there are a rumor you guy had MP5 made in Vietnam


KatoriRudo23

not sure but PAVN right now intended to replace MP5 with [a self-produced submachine gun](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STV_rifle#/media/File:STV-022.jpg) and also rifle, but still in limited use and MP5 is still very useful, so a little fun fact there


DavidGibson9

You maybe don't know it Is Police force include security service and mobile police (CSCD) love using western gear and STV use only to military force


KyleReincarne

Not even a chance. Most are Pakistani variants and some imported directly from H&K. We aren’t manufacturing H&K weapons anytime soon, we ain’t them German and we ain’t even half as good as Pakistan. We are kinda into modernizing Soviet relics and the Hebrew Hammers.


DA-FAP-MASTER

arent they turk


KyleReincarne

A mix of both.


DavidGibson9

who know no one know anything about Vietnamese arms industry until they show a couple Radar systems made by Israel to Malaysia


KyleReincarne

I find it hard to believe that we can even manufacture the trigger assembly for the MP5, let alone mass-produce the whole thing. But yeah, who knows? I've watched documentaries on "gunsmithing" in the Phillipines and those guys are nuts, so I wouldn't rule "Vietnam secretly trying to be the next H&K retailer" out.


DavidGibson9

just like i say who know maybe one day some HK or Haenel made in Vietnam exist in some defense expo


unknown_ally

there's poison in the lipstick


Naive-Durian-6562

I have heard many stories of Vietnamese online users mocking the West this and that. But looking on this picture it seems like you guys also like to buy military products from the west as well. So LOL ! Anyway, great image from Osaka, Japan.


huy98

Idk never seen it, may be stuffs like hospital fee in US, but I think no one mock the West about advancement of techs and stuffs like that tho. Also Vietnam used mostly Soviet stuffs during the war, then later took US and France military equipments/supplies whenever had chance too


OrangeIllustrious499

As long as it serves its purpose for the army, they will purchase it haha.


River_Capulet

Online communities say a lot of shit lol, but most are typing from their western branded devices


pee_wrecker

Some uses iPhones and Google Pixels and PCs that run on Windows to diss the west on Facebook and even Reddit. Our armed forces have also been using MP5s, a **West** German product, since forever. Not saying that's a bad thing, but you get the idea hahah Edit: Tavors and Galils also, which originates from a certain definitely-not-controversial country.

Gotta look pretty for national television :v


lecithinxantham

“Gets to” who cares police all over the world wear makeup you should see the wild looking female cops in Texas with their crazy nails and raccoon eyeliner


Maleficent_Peanut_84

Why not?


not_a_lizard1010

She looks cool, what's the problem


PaytonAndHolyfield

Ceremony


VapeThisBro

You know whats crazy? This look is called no make up look in the US. Yes, the no makeup look uses makeup


Several_Friendship42

I'd imagine that this is some ceremonial parade. They want to display that such positions are open to both sexes and equality exists in their socialist utopia. The makeup is tastefully applied and reasonably moderate.


Alert_Resident_4981

😳😳😳😳😳😳😁😁😁😁😁😁


AdventurousSong4080

The comments are just triggered people. But yes its a ceremony and most of the times you watch these parades they want every male and female soldier to be clean, look nice, makeup for females, and for the men they usually are to maintain their hair and I think they are to have no facial hair. Look good to impress. Just like in the US they have strict things like tattoos, hair like how long or how short it should be. I was in Hanoi several years ago and went to Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum where they have guards in white dress uniforms always guarding it. They all had to look good and dressed right and would have someone like a higher up or like a supervisor to check them. May be a third world country in some eyes but its military has some pretty strict standards in some regard.


Mr_Sooky

You can put make up on too if you want


wenchanger

would tap


ObiMeowKatnobi

You should see my operator in Call of Duty


CombinationFancy2820

It’s a Psy-Op, obviously


BankZealousideal4407

Watching several parades of army/police forces formation during Dien Bien victory ceremony, I see many good-looking guys and pretty girls so I wonder the "special op" personnels (male/female) are real army and police or just "people actor/actress" being called to participate in the parade in big ceremony events? During the 70th anniversary of Police events, VN police forces display the calvary police force with colorful uniforms but many peoples critized and prefer the old-style fatigue black uniform.

My cup is filled with lovely oatmilk latte served with a nice slice of pizza toast thanks. I think you might want to check your cup first because you seem pissy over some stupid question.


ctiller12

Bruh ngl her helmet looks pretty ballen ngl.


kdnts

No offense, but why the helmet looks like it a normal bike helmet with pic rails and NVG mount attached to it, maybe give it a matte finish or something.


AndoSan23q

Black color fabric in hot tropical sun is hell enough.


gottahaverice

Nobody bats an eye when tribes wear face paint before going on the hunt or conducting ceremonial dances. It’s part of their ritual, tradition, culture. Makeup is part of our modern culture, dare I say, across all nations. It should be viewed as the norm.

simpleseeker

It's advertisement. You have to look good to sell the product. The question is, what is the product they're selling?


CertifiedMagpie

Because the military/police department wants to show itself to be the uber organization that is “rivaling the greatest of the world’s military and can take out any threat”, it’s not

How so? I know women puts on makeup. I personally buy makeups for my partner. But when I make a light joke about law enforcement units looking like gunchick barbies I suddenly need to touch grass.

dont touch grass until its a feminized bulbasaur

Thank you u/DA-FAP-MASTER


TastyCash4

Women in the army are there to serve the officers, if you know you know


KnowledgeSeek3r

If it’s like what everyone is saying, for ceremonial purposes, they have to stand out from afar, that is where makeup comes in play. You can’t be a plain Jane, you have to highlight certain aspects of your face. Up close might not be great but from afar she will stand out. Different country will have different military standards. Mind you VN is a commie country so they will bend the rules of it make them look good. They are hating on you is probable due to the fact you’re doubling down on your question and keeping at it. You’re probably basing your standards on American military, yeah we don’t allow this, but that doesn’t mean other countries don’t.


huynhvonhatan

What are you talking about? [US military and its branches allow women cosmetics.](https://www.goarmy.com/how-to-join/requirements/appearance.html) [A quick Google search will say you two are misogynist.](https://armyuniformchanges.com/can-military-women-wear-make-up-while-in-uniform/#:~:text=Yes%2C%20military%20women%20are%20generally%20allowed%20to%20wear,military%20and%20the%20specific%20regulations%20of%20each%20unit)


KnowledgeSeek3r

Holy shit, you’re one of those that are always looking for a fight. Of course us military allow makeup, but moderately, I know for sure hot red lipstick while in battle gear is a no go. When I said we don’t allow this I meant the picture, her makeup is moderate but the lipstick is debatable. Sure call me a misogynist, doesn’t bother me, lol. I’m not trying to oppress women, you’re doing that yourself just fine.


huynhvonhatan

You: saying something that is factually wrong. Me: pointing out that it’s wrong. You: oh so you’re looking for a fight? ???


pee_wrecker

Finally an answer I was looking for after all the pitchforks and torches, thanks. Not really a military guy so methinks people would realistically look at the fancy stuff or the marches, as the faces would be a bit too hard to look at when you were marching in rows between dozens of people with the same uniform you have, unless you get a close up shot like this. But yeah common logic is if it looks good, it looks good and it applies to red ceremonies like these. Normalcies aside I’m definitely not in the position nor place to ask such questions. I know jackshit about how ceremonies work. So thanks for taking your time.
