US military allows Sikh men to keep their beards IIRC. I wonder what those men will do in the case of a chemical attack.

- samatman 7y agoThe Canadian Minister of Defense, also a Sikh, has a relevant patent: https://www.sikhnet.com/news/defense-minister-sajjan-patented-military-sikh-gas-mask https://www.sikhnet.com/news/defense-minister-sajjan-patente...
- remarkEon 7y agoLots of other militaries allow their soldiers to maintain groomed beards. The US is actually kind of an outlier in this regard. But, the military being the military, should they enter a theatre that has a significant likelihood of chemical attack I'm sure those grooming standards would change.
