/pol/ why no longer do leaders use badass armor?

Suits and ties are so boring, the badass armors of the Roman Empire look more imposing IMO.

Because back then military soldiers became leaders, where as today we have pussy ass doctors and businessmen.

The statue is not as flattering with the paint and with the description behind him.

Armor belies weakness and a need for defense, a modern leader could wear body armor but that gives the impression of lack of control and enemies within close distance.

That's an aproximation of how the statue looked back in the day. Marble Statues were colored with different kinds of oils and paints to give them a larger than life look. They were supposed to pop out attract people in.

Because armor is antiquated as fuck.

If you didn't want to sound completely fucking retarded you should have asked why executive leaders don't wear dress uniforms anymore.

Faggit.

Some of them still do, in the form of bulletproof vests at least.

I know, it just isn't a flattering statue. The Romans liked realism so at least we know it's mostly accurate.
