Some of the things like wearing a dress is supposed to be for luck I think.

According to the soldiers themselves, cross-dressing is a military mind game, a tactic that instills fear in their rivals. It also makes the soldiers feel more invincible. This belief is founded on a regional superstition which holds that soldiers can "confuse the enemy's bullets" by assuming two identities simultaneously.

Let me know how that works out..

It might prove that African natives swam across the sea and got jiggi because Native Americans also would dress in the clothes of their victims.

Two different things actually. American Indians might liberate useful clothing from their enemies and concider it to have some of their enemies powers, but r I don't recall they ever wore women's clothes to gain powers.

I dunno. It CAN be effective psychological warfare. Now I think the dude wearing the bridal gown would make everyone AIM at him!!!!!

However, I can see people wearing women's clothing and kid's clothing, trying to disguise themselves as non-combatants, making you hesitate during a gun battle. I certainly would NOT want to fight a bunch of male fighters in drag for fear of actually shooting a woman (noncombatant) by accident.....
