A Muslim civil rights group has sued the government on behalf of a former Navy enlisted man from Northern California who says he was the target of ethnic slurs, was reassigned to a menial job, and was later denied re-enlistment after seeking permission to wear a beard for religious reasons.

You do evidently, Reagan knew better, but a few militant activists, you, and Obama care too much to leave it alone.
Today you have your homosexuals, your females, and your beard wearing Muslims and your bearded, turban wearing Muslims and Sikhs.
Way to go.
I would ... if I couldn’t find a Gurkha.
My brother had a beard when he was in, but he was stationed in Antarctica. Brrr.
I did all that?
Bwaaahhaaahaaa!
Amen.
Brrrr is right!
Submariners are still permitted to wear beards.
It happens more often than you would think. Sailors who shaved their heads got written up, particularly after being told to get their hair cut.
Dunno, I last worked Subs in 92. Got out prior to that.
It’s cold under the water. Brrr.
Look at your work today on behalf of Muslim militants.
Overcoming Reagan’s decision and supporting Obama’s, is obviously important to you.
LOL! It just made me bust a gut a laffing.
I was like “umm hey this is a regulation hair cut”
CO did not like me, gee I wonder why?
What in God’s name are you talking about?
LOL, It is your position that you have been arguing for so passionately, for so long, aren’t you reading your own posts?
Look, Beards are a Naval tradition, It aint just some damn Muslim thang.
All I pointed out is that we wore them and men still do in the service.
All that matters is that you don’t get yerself killed because your mask does not fit, thereby rendering yourself unable to aid your shipmates.
What if paying taxes is against your religion?
Damn old Washington and Jefferson enabling those Damned Muslims on the Barbary coast...
Jeez all they had to do was ban beards.
Well, here you are defending the Muslim thing, and the Sikhs Beards and turbans.
Reagan knew what he was doing, Obama and you are wrong.
You must drink during the day.
