Quote:Sikh US Army captain wins right to wear religious beard and turban in uniform
Quote:The accommodation for Singh is the first for an active-duty Sikh soldier since the Pentagon took steps two years ago to give individual troops greater latitude to wear turbans, head scarfs, yarmulke and tattoos as part of their religion.
The Pentagon’s move sought to make it easier for Muslims, Sikhs, Jews, Wiccans and others to follow the tenets of their faith while serving in the U.S. military.
It means the Flying Spaghetti Monster will get his own brigade!

I've always thought uniforms and facial hair just go so well together it was a terrible shame the US military wouldn't allow it.
Unfortunately, I'd say the chances of a gas attack are higher now than they've been in quite a while, and some of these follically expressive soldiers are going to find out their CBR gear won't seal properly and they are going to turn into gorgeous, but extremely dead corpses.
Fuck.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense.
I know it's just clothing, but what ideology drove him to force the issue.
That sounds like cognitive dissonance.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

I suppose if religious people would rather choke on sarin than shave, rather wear a turban than kevlar......that's their call. I doubt that god will stop the bullets or the gas on account of their faithfulness. If it's just parade gear, meh, fuck it...I could have worn a sabre, spurs, and a cowboy hat...what with being cavalry, technically. I opted for a green suit and a black beret, because I'd rather not look retarded in a parade. Serious stuff. He doesn't even wanna rep his ranger cred with a high and tight babyface and cat eyes.......? Somebody outta pull his card, lol.
I bet he's a fobbit with no combat concerns whatsoever.

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Somebody needs to let out the crotch on those pants, they're actually creasing -under- his package...it's basically a pouch with legs sown on to it. That shit has to be hell to march in. It's definitely gay, cmon, look at the accessories! Even the goat's prancing.
