[Mandingo Conservative]

The jokes just write themselves here!

[Undecided 2012]

It’s only right to look 3rd world isn’t it?

[ex-snook]

What no GI haircut?

—I know it is silly to suggest that same standards for all sexes should be the same—( about 1/4” max , say )-—

[thoolou]

We’re boned.

Muslims are allowed beards but Christians are not allowed.

[ealgeone]

when you sign up you agree to the rules. plain and simple. if you don’t like the rules, don’t sign up. plain and simple.

[headstamp 2]

God forbid that anybody be required to look professional these days.

When you call a plumber and some idiot wearing his cap sideways with clothes 2 sizes too big falls out of a van in your driveway, you see the current state of affairs of professionalism. They tell you immediately by this that they aren’t to be taken seriously and the quality of their work will soon prove that.

Are we getting to the point where a thief will be able to sue a bank for discrimination because they won’t hire him and let him count the money in the vault? Or pedophiles can demand that they be allowed to manage children’s camps?

[Red_Devil 232]

Just Damn! They joined the U. S. Army - You Are In The Army Now. Comply with the regulations!

[Snickering Hound]

However, hairstyles that incorporate their own cover are permissible because of their practicality.

[BuffaloJack]

Military grooming standards have nothing to do with race.
They are for the express purpose of keeping the troops alive.
When WW1 came along and they deployed poison gas and other nasty things, gas masks would not seal on a face with a beard, nor would they fit properly with long shaggy hair.

[PGR88]

The Army just reflects society. Americans are becoming more fragmented, less united. No one celebrates what makes us a nation, rather they celebrate more and more what divides us.

[kiryandil]

The U.S. Army is coming under fire for changes to its appearance and grooming standards

Oddly, the Russian Army appears to be having no such problems...

[onedoug]

Do they skip at the Pentagon for exercise yet?

[hattend]

“Women of Color” have had no problems with military grooming standards for generations.

But it’s Obama’s Army now.

[Always A Marine]

Call it Balkanization, devolution or entropy. If not checked early, it is fatal.

[PghBaldy]

I am sure the reason they did this is people were getting out of hand, but the idiot Obama voters will think it is the evil military just trying to keep blacks down.

[CharlesWayneCT]

Wasn’t it easier when everybody just got a 1/4 inch shave? And why can’t they do that? Certainly the women don’t believe in the stereotype the women have to have longer hair to be attractive, right? They are “equal” now.

[OldPossum]

Complain, complain, complain.

Don’t they ever get tired of complaining?

They’re just tiresome.
