What a load of shit... so basically they are gonna impose stricter standards for some soldier I.E tattoos, being clean shaven on and off duty including when on leave, and ect. Then turn around and impose more relaxed standards for soldiers of specific religions, that allow them to have beards and wear turbans so they can "freely" practice their religion. This new Army bullshit is getting ridiculous... smgdfh

You are not as important as them. People from another country have more rights than you and as soon as you realize that, the better. Smmfh!

We need to declare a religion that lets our facial hair grow.

That's why it's weird you mentioned them. It seemed like you were correcting someone and they had maybe erased their post and I didn't see it.

Easier for the enemy to fit in.

I assumed TS ment the enemy would be a Muslim. , as the is the current one we are fighting.
I read the article and it was a Hindu , not a Muslim.
That is all

By the way I agree to TS statement and also with MB and DD
You agree to join miltary , you wear the uniform.

Accept the Army 670-1 or your branch of choice's appearance standards and follow them, or stay at home and do your own thing. I wish washington had balls. when people demand they give in to accept them and change they should stand firm and say NO!!!!.

There are criminals among us who are both homicidal and incorrigible. Their parents took a shot at civilizing them and failed. Their school teachers took a shot at them and failed. The odds are overwhelming that government welfare programs and penal institutions took a shot at them and failed. If it ever becomes your turn to take a shot at them, don’t fail.
