Is this going to be one of these what-could-possibly-go-wrong moments?

Hell, they allow corn-rows, right?

So why not?

(I’m against this. What ever happened to military bearing and standards?)

Oh, wait. The new “Woke” Army

Mandatory Gay-sex NSO shows are back…

Having served in tanks I’d sure be reluctant to wear something like that around moving machinery or inside a tank turret.

I’m sure glad that our military is tackling the really important stuff and not wasting their time and money on marksmanship and physical fitness.

No hand to hand combat situations I suppose?

Does this mean I can re-enlist and grow back my mullet?

What about “scrunchies”?

If you’re going to allow ponytails, then a ponytail is not complete unless you have a scrunchy to tie the hair.

How about a nice pink one with sparkles that spell “Girl Power”?

I know there are women who serve with honor and distinction.

I just have a very hard time wrapping my head around the idea of women in combat roles. Based of course on my life experience with my wife and daughters. A garden snake in a fox hole would give away the whole company.

I’m work in DOD, first time I seen the ponytails, it was different - these young folks know it is only when they are in garrison.. If/when they deploy it will not be practical.

No big deal...

These young Soldiers/Airman are not stupid...

I always wore my hair VERY short while I was in the Army. WHO has TIME for hair care? You’ve got weapons to clean and boots to shine! Wash and wear - or if you’re in the field, rub some dirt into it (Field Shampoo!) and get ON with your mission, LOL!

Of course, it wasn’t the bleepin’ ‘Country Club’ it seems to be these days. I was in a Support Battalion hauling Bullets, Beans & Gasoline to the front lines.

Girls! *Rolleyes*

There is much truth to the let sentence of your post. Spiders and snakes and monkeys oh my.

What about men and transmen, huh? Very sexist of them. Pony tails, pink pumps marching to a different drummer sleeves rolled up showing off their combat arms all oiled and ready for some real fun! Sowing terror in the hearts of godless Chinese minions running in terror off the battle field shrieking.

Such a glorious social experiment is this New America’s ‘military’!

Guess head lice, fleas, and assorted fungi never bothered them.

Guess the enemy needed something to hold on to when they capture them.
