Thread: Military hair standards, should only women be allowed to have long hair?

Now that regulations have changed in the Army, Air Force, and Navy to allow women to wear ponytails while in uniform. Why not allow the men to grow their hair long as well? Any reason they give for allowing women to wear their hair down should also apply to men. Only men have to sacrifice their hair for military service and continue to meet existing standards while regulations are loosened for women.

Do you want to have your hair used against you in a Combat situation, sir?

But it can't be used against women in combat? Women are now allowed in combat jobs. Even if we take direct combat jobs out of the equation, what about the men that work in medical or offices? Why can't they have long hair if the women are running around rocking ponytails?

Most military men don't even give two chits. Leave this crap to the women. They have a hard time enough even pt'ing.

I get told "Hey, go cut your hair' I respond Roger and do it. I don't cry to the Capitol asking for equality and changes so I can grow out a nappy fro.

Exactly, so everyone in the military should adhere to the same buzz cut standard.

id join if they let me keep my hair

but you can also claim its religious and keep it like how norse pagans get to keep their beard

There should be no health or hygiene regs in the military. Just a requirement to wear a green t shirt, polo, or button up shirt.

Holding them to their own standards, yes women should have to cut their hair too. But really women shouldn't be in the military at all.

Things like this just show that no one really believes in the equality bullchit.

Just say you are a woman and you get the easier fitness test while you’re at it. Fuk em. Our military is not supposed to be a fuking social experiment yet here we are. Its funny because I remember the first time we had to receive training on the new trans chit and the first question asked was some dude joking around about if he could do the women’s prt. Everyone thought that chit was retarded and a waste of time to have us come in for it.

I'm just LOLing to myself at this point because I'm unapologetically confident enough in my powers of discernment to know they are slowly painting themselves into a corner. Not sure how people who were smart enough to get that high up the food-chain don't also see their concessions are forcing them to either contradict themselves or make further concessions.

I've spoken with generals in person about this issue. They're willingly doing it. If you confront them on the double speak they will state motifs like "service before self" as if you're simply supposed to just trust what they say. In some aspect, its as if they're saying that's what they're doing.

Problem is that they fought trump on dismantling critical race theory that was being taught in the military, so I lean more to believe the generals are welcoming it.

Think about it, the more ineffective your military becomes, the more you need contractors....These generals are going into either politics or defense companies. They have no motive to maintain a strong domestic military.

I've seen intel positions in the military work well with females, but then I saw female dynamics destroy the operational standards of many physical jobs like maintenance, fire fighters, etc. I'm sure DoD companies want these small easy tasks under their thumb for money.

get rid of traditional grooming standards(all sexes) get rid of tattoo bans and up the physical standards

let the cards fall as they may
