If we create double standards for women, why not for every other group that feels they are special? Turbans, facial hair, separate height weight standards for Polynesians, exceptions for their tattoos, orthodox Jews should be able to keep their beards too, of course: http://privateinvesigations.blogspot.com/2011/12/new-chaplain-dons-his-uniform.html
Come to think about it, marching, D&C and getting my head buzzed is all offensive too. It strips me of my individuality and hurts my feelings (sarc). I wonder, do people realize that the word "Uniform" means more than just some cool looking cammo clothing that one wears?
These were restricted since 1981? That means at one time, there were not such restrictions. Uniformity would be preferred, but maybe it is not completely essential to have a well run military unit. I’m more concerned about the dropping of fittness and academic standards in order to become ‘more inclusive’.
What gang problem in the military?
Come On, Man ! Besides, if the Sikhs want in, I'll take 'em.
Uniform will be replaced with Omniform.
I don’t have a problem with Sikhs wearing turbans in the U.S. military. I want them on our side since they’ve been fighting Muslims for hundreds of years now.
