As the Health of an Army principally depends upon Cleanliness; it is recommended in the strongest manner, to the Commanding Officer of Corps, Posts and Detachments, to be strictly diligent, in ordering the Necessarys to be filled up once a Week, and new ones dug; the Streets of the encampments and Lines to be swept daily, and all Offal and Carrion, near the camp, to be immediately buried: The Officers commanding in Barracks, or Quarters, to be answerable that they are swept every morning, and all Filth & Dirt removed from about the houses: Next to Cleanliness, nothing is more conducive to a Soldiers health, than dressing his provisions in a decent and proper manner. The Officers commanding Companies, should therefore daily inspect the Camp Kitchens, and see the Men dress their Food in a wholesome way.

It I hafta dress my food now, I'll put little sombreros on my enchiladas.
It is Bastille Day. French President Sarkozy walks the Champs Elysee "surrounded by policemen." I guess because his dream of a gun-free France has not yet come to pass. Then he'll probably want to be surrounded by SOLDIERS. That's how police states do it.
