Sorry, but where did you get the idea that US Airborne troops had Mohawk hair cuts?

There were around half a million paratroopers and other airborne troops in WWII, and this group pictured accounts for only 0.004% of them.

This would be the equivalent of requesting that all WWII sniper models have a white feather in their cap, because Carlos "White Feather" Hathcock was known for his marksmanship with a sniper rifle and would sometimes wear a white feather in his hat as a symbol of his skills.

Just sayin'

yes, I think that the 101st should have normal haircut and classic facepaint (similar to modern USMC Tropical facepaint but black)
