Are all female army personnel required to wear hijab on duty?

If you’re on enemy turf and a hajib makes an enemy combatant pose for even a second its worth it. It could make the difference on whether she us killed or not. They take women’s subservience pretty seriously over there and a hajib is one of the adornments that signifies that.

No, but all 35D/35E like myself wore arab garb in Iraq as part of at THT (tactical HUMINT team). We grew beards, carried AKs, and rode around in Toyota land cruisers. We got shot at by coalition forces as much as we did AQI.

Fun times! Durka durka!

The scarf actually protects the wearer from the sun and dust.

What’s this outfit she is wearing. And...The head scarf?

That’s my question as well.
