Never thought of me shaving my face as white privilege. Who knew?

Damn near every black dude I served with in the 90s tried as hard as they could to get "No Shave" chits.

ETA: regardless of whether they needed it or not

There should only be one standard and if you can’t or won’t meet that standard then you should find something else to do. Hair cuts should be the same regardless of gender as well.

Does anyone seriously give two flying fricks what the naysayers have to say?

Have you been around many AA people? Their curly hair often means razor burn and ingrown hairs if they clean shave. Making such a exception seems reasonable to me.

Not capable of having the same expectations as others?

Like how most women can't do the same amount of pushups?

the no shave rule was not to allow beards it was to allow alternate forms of shaving, like hair removals

Of course it does. If Biden's crew had called for this, you would have lost your mind.

I heard this 20 years ago from a white coworker that did 2 tours in a submarine . He was talking about his black shipmates.

Early 2000 AF vet here. They gave them out in the Air Force because of razor bumps, but they still were not allowed full on beards.
