US Military Okays Turbans, Beards, Hijabs, And Dreadlocks For Officers by SKYTREND(m): 5:30pm On Jan 06, 2017
In the final days of the Obama administration, the military has issued new guidelines for religious accommodations and dress.

The Army has issued a new regulation: Effective immediately, brigade-level commanders will be able to grant accommodations to servicemen and women who wear beards, turbans, or hijabs for religious reasons—the three most common requests for waivers to current guidelines on grooming and dress, according to a letter from the Secretary of the Army, Eric Fanning.

Someone who is willing to go lay their lives in the line for me to be safe can wear a beard, Turban, an Hijab or Ninja uniform for all I care.

But then, I ain't American

What if the person is a terrorist impersonating an officer? This loose policy will definitely backfire, this is good news for future bombers

Now if they don't allow turbans and beards, what stops a terrorist from shaving?

He's fighting hard to have a legacy in place since Obamacare will bite the dust for sure.

I don't think its a good idea. The military is the only organized group in the world today, with code of conduct that centres on professionalism. Dancing to religious tunes might be counter productive on the long run. I think professionalism and force ethics should come first and last, not some religious twisted compromise.

Appleyard of Moskow - What do you expect? Especially now that the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans & Queer (LGBTQ) people - including Terrorists kitted in turbans & hijabs - are being accepted to join the Army ranks, the Amerikan military is on its way to becoming an international laughing stock. grin

Previously, terms like “gay” & “pussy” were in widespread use in the Amerikan military’s basic training.

Drill sergeants used such terminology to exhort the “numb-nuts” placed in their charge to start acting like men.

I wonder what words drill sergeants use now that they’ve been tasked with training those they previously referred to as “gays” and “pussies”? grin

This comedy can continue as long as the Amerikan military continues to shy away from attacking any serious adversary like Iran or North Korea (won't even mention Russia), because if it did, comedy would instantly turn to tragedy grin cheesy grin

For all I care, morality is dead in the US, and this we know. But taking it to the military is not good at all... There is a way those people see things and reason. Their mindsets are totally different from those that are straight. Even medical science has confirmed it.

Well, good luck to them..But I must say the thing is regrettably lugubrious and a pitiable bismal dismal act of compromise....
