The first time I saw this story, there was a photo of the boy and his haircut...It was no “mohawk”...It was very clean-cut about 1/2 inch long with the area around the ears cut tight...
As said, it was a military cut..
Very appropriate haircut...
And I know “mohawks”...I had one for about 30 minutes when I was 9 years old...
Long enough to walk home from the barber shop, get my butt beat by my momma, then walk BACK to the barber, tell him my momma was gonna beat him, then get the rest cut off...*L*
