The Rules
Posts must be:

- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Please also avoid duplicates.
Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

@TranscendentalEmpire The article itself said that beards don't meaningfully interfere with masks, so it's not even necessary to feed that troll; they already knew that, if they read it.
Military beard/mask doctrine goes back literally a century, based on tech of that time -- not what we have now. (I'm not sure how proven it was then, either, but it hardly matters now.)
I share what I'm sure is widespread suspicion that this policy is, in our time, racist in intent, not just in effect.
