So I spent the weekend listening to music and watching TV with the sound turned down. Can someone tell me why the US army is checking the mall Santas for head lice?

Perhaps the U.S. Army is concerned for the mall Santa's health... maybe performing physicals on the mall santas will determine if they can be sent to war. A mall santa would make a pretty large target, and I think they would have a hard time trying to survive.
 
Maybe Santa has Head Lice...
