I received none . <| sep |> As long as they have blue milk , I ' m in . <| sep |> Hello from Fairport friend <| sep |> Except , the US army isn ' t even compulsory service , and the rules are clear , they have a uniform , you wear it . Tbh , uniform is not only about effectiveness or looks , it ' s more of a tool . It is a form of sculpting a person into a soldiera doctora sailor . It is used to say This is our way , and you are one of us now , look like it , or You are no different than the guy next to you or you could even go as far to say While you wear this uniform , you are no longer an individual , you are a soldiersailor etc . So yeah , giving some guys that joined the military even though they knew they had a uniform code then later complaining they don ' t get to wear turban the right to wear it , or grow beards is contradicting the very reason that the uniform is there . And i can safely say that , as someone that currently lives in a muslim country , goes to a civil maritime university , evenas civilians we wear uniforms , we can not grow beards , we can only show up to lectures with our uniforms . Same in the army here , 247 in uniform and clean shaven , ours is even compulsory service so every male has to do that . So think of it less like their religious rights being taken away , think of it more like an army applying the global standard while this hypothetical guy complains about something he agreed on while getting in the military in the first place . EDIT Wow , sorry for the blog post .
