Believe it or not, you pay for that haircut at basic training/boot camp and every other haircut you receive in the military. Perhaps the short haircuts in wartime Japan were for ease of wearing gas masks. Naw! Not buying that. Women didn't have buzzcuts but I think gass masks would fit them. BTW, contrary to myth, a gas mask should seal even on a bearded face. I use a dive mask with no problem and I have a full beard.

It is true at least when I was in 1970. Primarily for cleanliness and also for conformity.

Do you put your mask onder threat of immediate death? Speed matters.
