It’s about time they wake up. We allowed this for years, and stopped it for really dumb reasons.
Sikh’s are good people and very loyal. It doesn’t hurt that they are good fighters, too. LOL

I don’t want to comment because sikhs are good people, but these kinds of “exceptions” to the uniform are a slippery slope that will eventually end up with some US soldiers wearing muslim garb while Christians will still have to conceal their cross under their t-shirt.

Making religion based exceptions to uniform regulations doesn't strike me as a good idea. What would have happened if the Army said, "no."

Makes sense. He’s a doctor. Combat troops would be a different story with helmet safety issues.

America, here's your Airborne Unit of the future.
Its a very slippery slope. One religion is not superior to another religion.

Well, they'd better hope they're never gassed, 'cause those beards will keep their pro masks from sealing. But hey, what's more important? Cultural correctness, or protecting soldiers?

I like Sihks but this is a very wimpy mistake by the pentagon.

The ONLY reason this is being allowed is because of the very critical lack of doctors. Had the Army been flush with doctors this would not have happened and they would have been shown the door. Simple as that.

Yeah. At least the troops, seeing the turban, will be reassured in a way that they wouldn’t otherwise be if they were to see a doctor of another race.

Sikhs aren’t muslims in any way, actually they don’t get along.
