As Commander-in-Chief, this will be quickly cast out along with all other social experiment crap Obama has pulled on the military.

I had a beard when I was in the Navy without any religious accommodations.

I once got dinged during a personnel inspection for having a lopsided face.

The beard was more compressed on the side that I slept on.

I love the story posted by another FReeper about boot camp haircuts.

Upon arriving the recruits were lined up to get their heads shaved. One recruit had long sideburns and told the barber, “The recruiter said I could keep them” The barber took the recruits hands and cupped them below each ear then proceeded to shave him clean. “See there, you get to keep them”.

LOL!

Mattie will not change this. He’s tough talk on the outside, but PC on the inside.

The basis for this started years ago in regards to the yarmulke as an exception to the uniform code:

Perhaps the most notable American court decision involving the yarmulke is Goldman v. Weinberger, 475 U.S. 503 (1986). In Goldman, the U.S. Supreme Court was faced with the question of whether an Air Force policy prohibiting personnel from wearing headgear indoors violated the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, because it prohibited the wearing of a yarmulke. This post will summarize the Goldman decision, and a future post will discuss the legislative response and current law.....

....Less than two weeks after the Supreme Court decided Goldman in 1986, several congressmen introduced legislation that would allow members of the armed forces to wear certain religious apparel. Both in the Senate and in the House, the proposed legislation allowed religious apparel that was neat, conservative and unobtrusive. The proponents insisted that religious headgear, such as the yarmulke, would not disrupt military effectiveness. Opponents argued that making such an exception would be adverse to military uniformity and morale, it would be difficult to apply, and it would lead to much litigation over the appropriate standards. Although it failed to pass in 1987, the legislation was included as part of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Years 1988 and 1989.

The current law is codified at 10 U.S.C. § 774. It allows a member of the armed forces to wear an item of religious apparel while in uniform, unless the Secretary concerned determines that it would interfere with the performance of military duties, or that it is not neat and conservative.

Are cornrows and dreads supposed to instill fear in an enemy?

Beards too? Turbans?

The modern US Army is laughable!

Shave their heads. All of them. Every soldier, marine, airman and sailor. Male and female. Every last one.
