It is my firm belief that today's long beard trend started with the Afghanistan War's "operator beard."

“Afghanistan War’s “operator beard.””
Yep. Every nerd thinks they are a hipster by grown facial hair. They’re just nerds.

No thanks. Those guys grew beards because they helped them identify with the Muslim tribal people there in Afghanistan. F#%& that.

Only time I ever had one was post-tet 68 after months long back to back air assault missions getting hopscotched to intercept enemy troops trying to get to Cambodia. I never have had anything itch so bad and was totally relieved to lose the face fur.

Beards look best on older men - many young men don’t pull them off well.
Sean Connery, Jonathan Goldsmith as ‘the most interesting man’, Gregory Peck as an older man; Sam Faddis - these are beard guys.
(And Santa, of course.)

Operator’s had great beards before Afcrapistan. They just “refined” them there.

That’s why I call them Taliban beards. And ick yuck, can’t stand facial hair on men.

I guess I beat the trend setters. Last time I shaved was in 1979.

Scruff OK. Beard not so much. 😀
