beards do not allow for a proper seal during gas attacks or if a mask is needed in a fire.do you even know why we have a rule against beards?The propensity of most on the right to get upset over non-issues is ridiculous.
That most on the right attempt to contrive ‘controversies’ where none exist is idiotic.
And the bigotry exhibited toward Muslims by many on the right is reprehensible.
and mulsims like to murder non-muslims, in brutal fashions.
You are an idiot....not even worth the key strokes.
Considering that those who have the beards are probably not issued masks in the first place as they are in non-combatant positions, it doesn't really matter.beards do not allow for a proper seal during gas attacks or if a mask is needed in a fire.do you even know why we have a rule against beards?The propensity of most on the right to get upset over non-issues is ridiculous.

And why would Army doctors be assigned aboard a ship?Considering that those who have the beards are probably not issued masks in the first place as they are in non-combatant positions, it doesn't really matter.
When there's a CBC attack aboard ship, dingbat, the chemicals do not distinguish between who's fucking who.

Sikhs have the reputation as some of the world's best fighters....and you want to be a pissant about beards?They allow medical exemptions for beards, now they allow religious ones. This is what always happens when you make exceptions to the rules. Everybody says they're special.
Sikh-American Army Officer Wins Ability to Serve with Beard, Turban
april 1 2016 In a decision by the U.S. Army Thursday, Capt. Simratpal Singh, a decorated Sikh-American officer and combat veteran, has received a long-term religious accommodation to serve with long hair, a beard, and turban in accordance with his Sikh faith.
In March, a U.S. district judge issues a temporary restraining order against additional non-standard, discriminatory testing. According to The Sikh Coalition, which is representing Singh with The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty and the law firm of McDermott Will & Emery, Singh is the first Sikh American to receive religious accommodation while already actively serving in the U.S. Army.
Before 1974, Sikh Americans were allowed to serve in the U.S. military with their articles of faith intact. Since 1981, stricter grooming regulations have required requests for religious accommodation on a case-by-case basis. Until now, only three had been granted. Meanwhile, about 50,000 U.S. soldiers have permanent beard exemptions for medical reasons, according to Singh's team.

This is what always happens when you make exceptions to the rules. Everybody says they're special.

A gas mask won't seal over facial hair. A helmet won't fit over a turn on. How are you going feel when these exemptions costs soldier's lives in the battlefield. Not to mention the hygene issues that come along with long hair and whiskers.
There are reasons for grooming standards.
He's traumatized by our President being not what he wants.you are calling the richest, most prosperous nation on the planet something other than a first world nation?A first world countryplease, describe the 'lost' identity
do you try to be that ridiculous or is it natural for you?
Where were you when Orthodox Jews were allowed to wear their yamulkes?Will someone please explain to me why there should be any accommodating for religions anywhere?
We should not legally require any accommodations for any religion.
Doing so IMO violates the first amendment. The religious are the first ti whine if the government tries to make them do anything but then they want the government to pass laws giving their religions special privileges
I say tough shit. If the rules don't jive with your superstitions then you don't have to work at that business or join that club or enter the military
Believe me none of those places will be worse off of you would rather practice your religion instead of working there
They used to allow them when I was in during the 1980's..They allow medical exemptions for beards, now they allow religious ones. This is what always happens when you make exceptions to the rules. Everybody says they're special.
