The Sikhs are the real militants on this kind of thing.

Cold he pass the semi annual gas charmer/protective mask task test? NO! Kick him out and put his layers in a chamber filled with Lewisite Gas, sans protective masks.

We have no right to drive (it’s a privilege) but there is a right to be in the Navy?

That’s nice, but you won’t find many in the American military, what is it, about 3?
Reagan was right to order them to comply with the American military rules.
Obama changed the rule for them of course to accept this kind of thing.

Agreed. The Sikhs tend to be pro-America. If nothing else, they’re anti-Muslim. This is speaking from personal experience with a handful of Sikh men with whom I worked. I don’t know if this is an overly-broad generalization.

Gotta love a religion that has a tenet that says you must be prepared to defend yourself and family.

So did I serve under Reagan, I supported his decision on Sikh militants and their beards, he banned them.

“The Sikhs tend to be pro-America. If nothing else, theyre anti-Muslim. This is speaking from personal experience with a handful of Sikh men with whom I worked. I dont know if this is an overly-broad generalization.”
What is their tradition on the treatment of women? We have an older Sikh living nearby. I don’t know him, but he does make his wife walk 10 steps behind him.
