Apart from the "macho image" it's other advantage is that it can be easily carried either in the shoulder strap of your shirt or your pants pocket.With a hat or cap you are always looking for a place to put it down when not in use.
The froggy french poofter hat (ROFL) we use to call it in Army Reserve unit. We were affiliated with a Scottish Higland Regiment and wore the Slouch Hat if overseas otherwise the Tam O'Shanter or as the military cut is called The Balmoral Bonnet. Either one (Berret or Tam O'shanter) would not be good for much as far as hunting goes. The baseball cap I wear have a protective flap that covers the ears and neck. Bit like the French Legionnaires hat.
