If musketeers are obsolete then why are they so sexy?

Sure, taut leather and crisp gloves and polished boots and buckled belts and tasteful cravats could be worn while using a semi-automatic weapon, but . . . . . . .

The musket is equally important to its aesthetic. I always find it funny when modern full-dress uniform parades are done shouldering an M14 or something

Some units (like cadets at military colleges) still use very old school full-dress uniforms and it's so funny to see guys with shakos on their heads and semiautos at their shoulders. Feels like a "time traveler moves chair in Napoleon's drawing room" kind of thing
