Soldier says when a CSM told her to remove her Hijab it was like showing him her breasts

(From the article) "To me, it was it was the same thing as if they had asked me to take my top off."

A) But she DIDN'T ask you to take your top off. You don't get to decide someone's action is the same as a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT action.

B) If she HAD asked you to take your top off (because, for instance, she believed you were wearing an unauthorized tan or coyote undershirt), under the conditions (step aside from everyone, only females present, witness present), it STILL would have been OK. We have undershirts!

C) Religious freedom does not grant regulatory immunity. You were wrong, you know you were wrong. You can't hide behind religious freedom in order to break rules.

D) Get over yourself.

I don't feel comfortable commenting here yet because I haven't left for training, however as someone who is Muslim and will be officer I would have do this slightly different.
First I would have her remove her head scarf in a room with only females present then have them tell if she was within regulations or not.
The part that makes me mad is her refusing to work with pork. This is Christian majority country and Christians eat pork. Wear gloves, in the Quran it's says God is wise and all knowing, God knows the difference between eating pork and cooking with it to serve others, also in the Qur'an it says that if Muslim comes in contact with anything that is considered unclean like pork to pour water on your hands 7 times in other words wash hands afterwards. Lastly you enlisted in a Christian majority military to cook you should have known better that you will eventually come in contact with pork.

The military wears uniforms for a reason, to appear "uniform." It helps instill values and behaviors necessary for military success. The CSM had every right to examine the Soldier's compliance with regulations. The whole incident, investigation, and law suit are BS. The junior enlisted person needs to understand that she is required to comply with regulations. NCOs are expected to ensure she does. The inspection was tactfully handled in my opinion. If she can't handle such low pressure examination of her behavior, then she needs to seek another line of work.
