War against the police. War against the military. Both on obola’s watch.
Exactly*. Firefighters everywhere are beardless for this very reason.
If the Navy bends for this, the armed forces are lost to the Muzzies, with the camel's nose inserted firmly under the tent.
*Besides, if Stephen Decatur was magically transported to the future, boarding cutlass in hand, to this man's ship, it would go ill with the towelhead...
quick question...how do you get through basic training with a beard????? and how do you pass daily inspection of you are allowing your facial hair to grow.....what we don’t need is another case of “WORKPLACE VIOLENCE” now do we???
In early 70’s sailors were allowed to grow beards because of Admiral Zumwalt “Z” grams. He was Chief of Naval Operations starting in 1970 and liberalized the navy look. I was in during this time and thought it made the navy seem to be not squared away. I don’t remember how many “Z” grams were sent out but I remember them numbering at least into the 20’s.
