OK by me.

Sikhs aren’t muslims.........

[MinuteGal]

Will female Islamic doctors and nurses be allowed to wear full burhka outfits in the military?

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

[wardaddy]

very slippery slope...just wait

[Jacquerie]

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

[Liberty Valance]

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.

[wku man]

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?

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

There goes the Military!!! You can’t make rules for a certain GROUP!! EVERY GROUP WNTS SOMETHING!!!

[gogogodzilla]

Good for ‘em.

In the military, I’ve seen Mormons wear their religious underwear, Orthodox Jews wear their Tallit katan and non-Orthodox Jews wear a yamulke.

I’ve also seen plenty of personnel with shaving waivers.

So I say again, good for ‘em. Even better if they’re good doctors, too. The Army really could stand to get some better doctors.

What about the obvious compromise-a camouflage turban?

If there’s one thing America is great at, it’s compromise between disparate groups.

OK by me. My eye doctor and surgeon is a Sikh and he can wear whatever he wants to. The Army will survive very nicely.
