"Let them express themselves!" Fuck you, no. "Individual" was once a slur in the Corps, and needs to be again. Attempting to stand out from your fellows is an affront to good order and discipline.

@GlomarResponder Long hair in combat is a distinct disadvantage... Especially up close. Handlebars

@WootReturns Beyond that, the culture of the military should mercilessly beat from you that desire to be a weirdo.

@GlomarResponder All soldiers should be required to grow a well maintained stache

@NEETsocLARP

@GlomarResponder Beards and longer hair should be allowed. The weird feather shit, dreads, and Mohawks are gay/larp.

@veggietalesfan9 Civil War looks are Chad, as long as its uniform for the force.

@GlomarResponder Or jobs. Or political appointments. Or elected office.

@GlomarResponder Thank you

@GlomarResponder The guys rocking mohawks didn't rock them every day.

@GlomarResponder how harmless do you have to be to conjure a phrase like "no impact on lethality"

@GlomarResponder JuSt LeT ThEm Be. THEM:

@GlomarResponder we ran of out small pox blankets too soon I guess.

@GlomarResponder I do have a soft spot for BAMs making breakfast in Quonset huts.

@GlomarResponder "Let people express themselves." Yeah that's how you wind up with that queerdo in a dog mask for his official retirement photo.

@GlomarResponder I see no problem with letting men have beards, but they have to be kept short and well trimmed. Just use a #8 guard on your whole head and boom! ideal length all around.

@GlomarResponder This is absurd.

@GlomarResponder When USAF ace Robin Olds returned home in glory from Vietnam the Air Force Chief told him to take off his decidedly non-reg mustache. Olds said “yes sir.” The past is a different country.

@GlomarResponder but it's about expressing traditional symbols and signs, the feathers are not a way to "stick out", but a way to be reverent of your ancestors and culture. It's not like a soldier demanding a pride flag patch or something, it's not a selfish self-serving thing

@GlomarResponder am i the only one who looked at those guys and thought of a zombie grabbing that shit and biting them?
