'According to the soldiers themselves, cross-dressing is a military mind game, a tactic that instills fear in their rivals. ', "Indeed, some of the more fully accessorized soldiers in Charles Taylor's militia even tote dainty purses and don feather boas.", "The cross-dressing combatants blipped onto the Western press's radar screen right around the time the Liberian Civil War started on Christmas Eve in 1989."
