The Army could let soldiers grow beards. No, seriously.

Since when did the mission take back seat to religious accommodation and personal preference? Enough of this crap. You cannot fight in a chemical or biological hazardous environment if you are dead or incapacitated due to a leaky mask, period. Unless the mission specifies a beard for unique circumstances, you shave your mug. Feel free to disagree, but you better be able to articulate how a beard, in general, is not a risk in CBRN environments. I could care less what the Dutch or any other military does. They are not the US Military. I hope to God Gen Mattis puts an end to this BS.

Too bad I can`t grow one if I tried. What takes me 2 months most guys could grow in a week. Unless there`s a secret I don`t know about.?.

we already have too many males that keep their facial hair or grooming within regulation now. this is just going to add to those not in standards.
