Oh, some guys like the army, I think that it's a mess. If it's so damned terrific, How come I wear a dress? Movie Tonight

What it means
Our interpretation.
A rhyming complaint challenges enthusiasm for the army by pointing to the speaker’s dress. The contrast makes the clothing an expression of discontent without explaining an unstated policy or motive.
