Short hair is pragmatic, but more importantly, it is a personal preference. Nobody should be criticized for wearing short hair. Doing that makes you no better than people who talk about "long-haired hippies" disparagingly.

If there wasn't a history of this: http://www.forgetthebox.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/American-Police-State-21.jpg http://www.forgetthebox.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Ameri...

Then haircut wouldn't matter. But I have yet to meet an American cop that didn't have a "military approved" haircut.
