Couching your description in terms like “50’s hairstyles” suggests they are outdated, period. So why an exemption for just one group. Sikhs are great fighters and we should let them have their way. Farmers, Southerners, Blacks, Hispanics, Whites, American Indians, Gurkhas, alcoholics, wife-beaters, are all great fighters, just to name a few deserving of exemption.
Self image is one of the first abandonments one makes upon joining up. It’s now about the team. My self-image was wounded when a squad leader shouted at me and swore. But I’ll be a good fighter. Exemption?
Suggest a limit to exemptions please just so it’s clear where you draw the line and how you wish to re-define the military.
This is simply a requirement of their religion.
