The issue is following the uniform, meeting whatever standards of neatness that happens to set, and some people value that. Similarly, the reason you respect your national flag (if you do -- I don't claim everyone does) isn't that it's neater, or a better colour, or a better design than everyone else's, it's that it's yours. | |

The respect to others is in your clothes being tidy. Wearing a tie and believing you are better than without it is disrespect to whoever doesn't wear one. | |
