I wonder why?

WWI, in all the flicks, those bowl shaped helmets, the troops always wore their chin straps.

WWII, Korea, Viet Nam, they didn't use their chin straps.

Now, they not only use the chin strap, there is a special chin strap to make sure it is held on tight.

Old Combat series, no chin straps.

Not sure about Desert Storm.

I wonder why the difference.

I was in the Navy.
