U.S. Military Dress Code To Now Allow Muslim Friendly Beards And Turbans

[DavenRoxy 1,073]

It was pretty much all downhill after the issued Ranger Lids to the whole freaking Army. Yup. I had to wear the maroon one years ago, and felt bad cuz I didn't jump. Thought it was disrespectful to those who did. Then along came the "Monica Lewinsky" headgear, and morale SOARED (as if).

Can you imagine..You have to shave, I don't . One hat for you another for the man standing next to you. Let's give the Jews a Camo Beanie, all by all means let's let the Christian wear his camo Tebow jersey in support. Did you see where the AF is proposing a morale T-shirt Friday as the norm?

Let's stop a live fire exercise for mid day prayers. No comment. I'd get nuked.

The Army has a purpose Individual expression is not it. Exactly. We are there to support and defend, and kill if required. NOT give in to alternative religious beliefs. That's what CHURCH is for.

What was your branch of service.? Lip, I'm sure.

Your behavior is disgusting. This has been going on the whole time you were alive, and you didn't care before. Shame on you.

First time you are right...I did not care before and don't care know

Standards are there for a reason

The only people I know that could grow beards in the Army are certain special operators as needed or dictated by local area of operations

and Black Guys with a bad case of Pseudofolliculitis

Shame on you for judging a group of people you obviously have no clue about. Know nothing about regulations nor traditions. Good job. Thanks to them, you have the freedom to say whatever you want. I'm not allowed to have strong feelings about people disregarding/destroying the rules I have lived my life by, but you can judge me, eh? I can't talk about them, but you can talk about me. Seems fair. You're welcome.

Typing, writing, phonics.. Not my thing

I got a new keyboard

Fixed space bar but tore up W key

Does reading about the top 1% make you literate?

Interesting that head gear and beards would cause so much commotion and generate so much anxiety to some. Obviously they must think the military is a clique of Heathers...

The question we should ask their CO's is whether the bearded and turban-ed are individuals of valor, and if they are up to the task to defend our country. IMHO we should start the conversation by thanking them for their service, before trivializing it by critiquing their head gear or facial hair.
