Now that the Army allows Muslim soldiers to have facial hair, Christian soldiers bring up this bible verse Leviticus 19:27. Your thoughts?

The Army allows anyone to request religious accommodation not just Muslims. These accommodations are made on an individual level, not for whole religions. There are hundreds of thousands of Muslims right now who shave daily and have not been granted exemptions, because they haven't asked. There is no blanket "this religion can do this" type rule.
BLUF: Certain people have exemptions because they got off their fourth point of contact, did the leg work, and got it approved. If you are jealous, to use the old saying, "don't hate the player, hate the game" get off your butt and request one for yourself. Don't hate on other people because you're too lazy to do what the Army regulations have allowed for decades...

Talk about having a permanent shaving profile. The army has gone soft in this generation. Thank God and Jesus Christ that I am retired.

Well Leviticus 19:27 didn't apply to "Christians" it was given to Israelites the descendants of Jacob (12 Tribes of Israel) - so I don't think it would work for "Christians" unless of course you are a descendant of the 12 Tribes.

Besides, the Lord fulfilled the Mosaic Law (not the Ten Commandments) that includes such practices mentioned. The scripture reflecting customs and practices, and not such sins as adultery, taking the name of the Lord in vain, and et cetera, is usually followed by Orthodox Jews.

SFC Greg Bruorton - Actually the only Law the Messiah came to fulfill was the law of animal sacrifice for the remission of sin as was foretold by the prophets -The Ten Commandments (to include keeping the Sabbath) and the dietary laws are still in effect.
