"Muslims Demand Army Change Its Dress Code To Include Turbans And Beards"

The military (I'm not singling out Army, because it is systemic) has catered to too many idiots already and look at it now! It's become a weaked institution! Yes, there are strong operators within the institution, but the institution, as a whole, has weakened. We are sent when we are not needed and not sent [when] we are needed! Tradition and discipline have been sacrificed for personal preference!

In short....NO we should not cater to them! They've already been catered to enough and enough is enough! Take a stand people and say "NO"!

Becoming a member of the US military is a commitment to the higher cause of Defending our country and her interests. When you swear into service you are volunteering many of your rights away to support your oath. Uniformity is one of the many things that show we are standing as one no matter our race, religion, or beliefs. While in uniform you are not an individual nor should you be allowed to appear as one. If this issue is allowed then we are opening our ranks up and allowing people to start questioning everything. Eventually that will be questioning orders due to personal opinion, or religion.We are then ineffective as a military, and selfishness begins to fuel our operations and not our countries Intrests and goals.

How about, no I don't think so! Constant attack on our history and now our uniforms?
Whats next?

I served with some Amish vets that were allowed to have beards as long as they were tried and we'll kept, so I have no issue with that. The headgear thing might be a whole different issue, if this is accepted then when conflicts occur, put them on the front line......don't believe a turban will deflect a bullet.

We are required to shave because of the threat of gas. Our gas masks will not seal to our face with s beard and a turban...well i don't think any one of us want to see that approved lol would make a good emergency table cloth

No.

MAJ (Join to see) here is a good article that spells out the difference for your readers. Sikhs are already officers in the US Army, last I read in Army Times.

If we want to co-exist...accomadating needs to be made. If we remain inflexible and rigid, we will be labeled as bigots and racists...which do you want? If they do, I may become a Sikh.

This is stupid. Our country is not Muslims. Americans are what we are and if they want to wear their stuff fine but if they think they are coming into our country and taking over when many men and women have died to keep our country free then they are mistaken and better stay where they are. IF they dont like our country the way it is then they should go back where they came from. And where is our so called president to stop all this. IS he American or is he going to be Muslim. IF he wants to be president of a Muslim faith then he should go to that country and run for ruler over there. Either that or he should step up to the plate and swing that bat and say we are Americans of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and you are not going to try to change or rule our beliefs. IF not step out of the ball park Mr President and let an AMERICAN run our country.

Thumbs up, because you got down votes for having a discussion.
