The Armed Forces are not a social experiment.
Comply or get out.
I have never understood why God hates the top of the human head.
Big, big mistake!!!
Is this a re-hashed story? I seem to remember this from a while back.
Bottom line, he is freaking screwed in an NBC event. And lets say one happens; his gas mask will not make a seal and then lots of med’s materials will be wasted on the guy. He wanted to join OUR military; abide by the rules. They are in place for a reason.

I agree Sikhs are”cool”, and well known to be a warrior sect...History has proven they make fine soldiers, would welcome any qualified Sikh who wishes to serve in our military, and be proud to serve along side any patriotic American Sikh...
But we have a standard uniform with regulations for facial and hair length for long established good reasons...Those wishing to serve must comply to American standards, not demand their own...Military service may be a duty, but it is NOT a right...
