I guess this also means communal showers, toilets, barracks, etc.
Another question is, why should women soldiers be allowed to sport long hair?
Where?
Are female soldiers allowed to "sport" long hair!?
Oh - and varying rules doesn't mean communal. But you clearly have issues with women in the military - or maybe women in general.
Is that the "cowboyway"?
GERMAN SOLDIERS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO KEEP THEIR PONYTAILS OR MULLETS!!!!
The court held that women and men shall be treated equally, and that it´s not constitutional that women may keep 10 inches long ponytails! Therefore, I conclude that the Minister will order women to cut off their long hair.
Don´t expect German soldiers to become long-haired hippies!
