no more beards in military

this has become a rampant problem in the recent years, and SECDEF is doing something about it. this is great news. basically what has been happening is that troops (99% of them black, that just the facts) claim a medical condition that prevents them from shaving. then when questioned about it, they claim it's medical related and that it's private information. this has resulted in an explosion of bearded troops, and commands scared to ask about it in fear of getting an EO or IG complaint levied against them. it has become a real problem.

I like Hegseth.
But, he comes off hypocritical here.
His tattoos on his arms look fricking stupid.

I agree tats are dumb.
They have never been against military regs as far as I know.
Beards are.

Agree, shouldn't be allowed. Also even if you can't shave their are ways to remove facial hair

The reason you don't want beards is because you need your gas mask to seal in case of a gas attack. All that hair will mess up the seal.

They didn't have to wear gas masks back then.

That was a problem in the 80s I always said if you can’t meet the standards you’re unfit for service regardless of the reason

dumb flex. Should we go back to using muskets too?

Article didn’t say anything about no more beards. It simply mentioned a review of fitness and grooming standards in addition to waivers

it was a problem 20 years ago with black guys claiming Barbae folliculitis.
White guys couldn't get the no shave chit though

Funny you say this, one of my MGunz had his face lasered so he didn’t have to shave. Thought it was funny at the time but it’s better than the nasty beards I’ve seen the last few years on social media.

That sounds like a self correcting problem.
