wearing gimp masks can't do much for their combat effectiveness.

Blatantly whoever designed this has a BDSM fetish and is wanking at the scenes he is now responsible for

At least they won't get killed in the face.

or indeed working on the scenes he is responsible for - this heralds an explosion in the volume of fetish films emanating from the taiwanese military and is a cunning ruse to raise much needed funds from the sale of filmes in these austere times.

I wouldn't want to meet one of them in a dark alley.

but i notice they haven't given the back of their heads the same protection as the front. i understand people playing with guns are often less than concerned about shooting people in the back, something the costumier seems to have ignored.

how the fuck are you meant to breathe while wearing that
those eyes say it all "I know I look like a cunt just give me an excuse any will do"

they'd run 10 yards and then be unable to breathe!

Just a trivial detail, along with peripheral vision and being able to breathe properly.

Bolivia had a special forces unit with a similar ballistic face mask:

UTARC, disbanded for being rather crap and dangerous.

 

[weltweit]

Rather an extreme way to combat smoking in the ranks !!

Army of Two springs to mind as well:

bloody stupid (if a bit badass) imho - what happens if they puke / choke / sneeze?

Apparently those pictures were taken in 2011 at a ceremonial parade in Taipei, so these uniforms might never see the light of day in real combat scenarios.

Maybe Taiwan were keen to join a tradition of having its soldiers look silly on parade by making them wear expressionless faces and ridiculous and impractical garb.

Thank goodness I was born and live in Europe.

The other appropriate Orwellism is "I know I look ridiculous, but you daren't laugh at me".

Supposedly the point of those hats is lancers and other cavalry would stab the hat instead of the blokes head so there actually was a reason for the silly hat. The Taiwanese masks are for face protection lots of ideas to stop people being shot in the face none of them are very good though.
