I had classmates in HS who were Punjabi and Sikh. Very patriotic and independent, unlike other demographics. However, I’m on the fence on this one. If he passed the Ranger school and served in war for America, I may have to give a pass on this one. Maybe I woke up this morning in a good mood...
If the Army has Jewish officers wearing kippahs or Catholic officers are permitted to wear a crucifix then is it such a stretch to permit a Sikh to have his turban and beard? I can understand having an honest disagreement about it, but don’t really see why anyone’s especially upset. This is the same military that has gone way beyond reason accommodating Wiccans, Muslims, and Sodomites. Sikhs at least bring along some martial values.
