A true dew-rag (this is the correct spelling) is made from one piece of cloth that is cut into a triangle and worn over the head and tied at the back of the head. It must also either be made by an Infantryman or Infantry Veteran or worn by an Infantryman or Infantry Veteran or it is not a dew-rag, it would be a skull cap.

Dew-rags are worn to protect the wearers head from dew collecting in the hair after sleeping outdoors, to use as a sweat rag, to use as a cleaning rag, to provide some cushioning from the helmet liner and to help prevent helmet creases from forming in the hair. Infantry Veterans may wear them to show honorable service. Others may wear them to show support for the Infantryman or Infantry Veteran who made it.
He removed his dew-rag to wipe down his weapon with it.

Surf Dracula Syndrome 

A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.

For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
