I guess Nixon was unaware of the inverse relationship between fancy uniforms and combat effectiveness.

It’s not like that matters — Nixon’s proposed White House praetorian guard would have been there to inflate Nixon’s ego, not engage in combat.

But this is obviously a picture that none of Trump’s bootlickers in his administration were aware of, or the idea would have been revived. Just like we know that none of the Trump toadies knew about the giant statue Turkmenbashi had erected of himself. It was even on a motorized base so it always faced the sun.
