I never had the 'pleasure' of serving with females when I was in, namely because they weren't allowed to serve in combat arms units.
The new regulations were a huge win for women who have said the formerly-required bun got in the way of equipment like helmets, and made it difficult to perform their jobs.
Well, your hair certainly wouldn't be a problem when you're cooking in the kitchen, now would it?
(Just kidding ladies, thanks for your service, now go make me a sammich. 😁)

Didn’t realize the Army differentiated between men and women. If women can wear pony tails, the men should also be allowed.
All the male needs to do is declare himself a woman.

How can one be sure if one is a man or a woman? Who knows one may be minding one’s own business when suddenly the gender fluid fairy strikes.

I was MP. I'm trying to remember how the women wore their hair.

I was lucky, I served in a Chaparral/Vulcan battalion when I was in Germany. While women were being force fed into Nike Hercules batteries, women were not allowed in short range air defense units, as we were normally attached to infantry and armor divisions.
My battalion's primary mission was short range air defense for Hahn, Bitburg, and Spangdahlem air bases. Couldn't have asked for a better assignment. The battery at Hahn was 40 miles from battalion HQ, which was awesome. During alerts, the firing batteries were put under the command of the Air Force Wing Commander...iow, our higher hq couldn't screw with us during those 4-5 days, which I thought was awesome.
IIRC, our battalion was deactivated in the mid-90s.

Make’s it easier to grab in hand to hand combat, I would guess. (like a handle).

More idiocy from an already idiotic Pentagon. Apparently, none of our “leaders” ever fought in a country where bugs were an issue.
Guess they will get to find out.

We do not have an effective military that is able to defend this country anymore. This is just like Stalin replacing all the experienced officials in the Red Army with loyalists just before Operation Barbarossa.

Are they gonna get a new man-bun regulation too?

“This is about listening to our soldiers, taking what they’re saying and then how can we incorporate that into the Army … The New Woke Army Troops- "We don't want to actually do any fighting or KP."
Generals- "Well, ok then. No one can accuse us of not listening."
