Sikhs wear their beard, turban, khalsa, etc. out of discipline and faith.

It has absolutely no negative impact on combat performance. If anything, the Sikhs have a renowned and respected record of being tough and courageous warriors. When Sikhs were in the military, they always weight toward combat arms.

So, yes, the prohibition is rooted in dogmatic ignorance.

We uncivilized north americans have a lot to learn from enlightened asians.
