Back when the duck face was acceptable

That's not duckface. That's kissy face. Duckface makes your lips flat and wide and makes the rest of your face look like you're on heavy sleep meds.

A military uniform makes everyone look good

Also this picture isn't from wwII it is of two girls dressed to look like they were from that time. I don't remember if it is a movie or just dress up but yet they are not from that time. You can even tell just by the photograph's quality.

This isn't a world war 2 photo though, ita just cosplay.
If two women turned up for duty with their uniforms in such a state, they'd be in some serious shit with their superiors.
