MODERATORS
This is not new. Over 20 years ago, Marines with chronic razor bumps would have to head to the medic to get a waiver for inspections. A couple of them had such a bad case, their waver would allow them to keep a very tightly trimmed beard for their entire time.
Very first sentence in the article is about how they’re removing those waivers.
So, kick everyone out of the military we can for any stupid reason we can when already chronically short staffed.
/OMG we need a draft
Nope, mostly just the brown ones. For…reasons.
So a bunch of trained soldiers are suddenly going to lose their jobs for largely racist reasons and be angry about it. Yeah that seems like a great plan.
If those Marines could read they'd be very upset!
Yeah but you don’t understand. That information was not in the headline so there was no possible way of knowing about it.
