Tell that to the military chaplins which wear a cross on the collar of their uniform, duh.
Western symbol for non combatant. Chaplains of all religions wear it.
No they don't. Jewish. Chaplains wear a star of David, Muslim chaplains wear a crescent, Buddhist chaplains wear a tantric wheel.
Yes, the army allows wear of the kippah.
Soldiers are not allowed to wear the Yamikahin uniform.
Yes, they can. Perhaps you should try this thing I like to call "research." And of course I've personally seen soldiers wearing the kippah.(2) Soldiers may wear religious headgear while in uniform if the headgear meets the following criteria.
(a) It must be subdued in color (black, brown, green, dark or navy blue, or a combination of these colors).
(b) It must be of a style and size that can be completely covered by standard military headgear, and it cannot
interfere with the proper wear or functioning of protective clothing or equipment.
(c) The headgear cannot bear any writing, symbols, or pictures.
(d) Personnel will not wear religious headgear in place of military headgear when military headgear is required (outdoors, or indoors when required for duties or ceremonies).

Bull. It can't be seen from any distance. The symbol is maybe an inch tall, subdued, and worn on the chest. You can't see it from more than a few feet away. The main thing to protect chaplains is that they are unarmed.Western symbol for non combatant. Chaplains of all religions wear it.
No they don't. Jewish. Chaplains wear a star of David, Muslim chaplains wear a crescent, Buddhist chaplains wear a tantric wheel.
Yes they CAN wear any of the 4 choosing to signify what religion they serve however many of the Chaplains I speak to wear the cross because of the universal recognition. "They don't get shot" or at least not intentionally...

I was in the service for 7 years and I have never seen this, if this is true whats stopping Muslim females from donning the hijab while in uniform on active duty?

And you're trying to say that in Afghanistan and Iraq a Muslim chaplain would prefer to wear a cross because of universal recognition? Really?
Muslim Americans have fought and died for this country.
You people who hate every religion but your own sicken me
Battle of New Orleans was a minor engagement that took place "after" the War was over.So, technically it wasn't "during the war," was it? It was the last battle fought and the British got their asses handed to them. They came over, they fought, they lost, they went home.
It had "zero" to do with the official war and was just a feel good moment for the American people.
Who were still in shock over the British invasion of Washington DC and the burning down of the White House.
Once again Unkotare, history books are full of information; but YOU have to open them up to find out what they say.
If the British had won that war, wouldn't we still be under the Queen right now as we are typing this?

I am not to wound up over this.
when I worked security we allowed Sikhs to keep their headdress and their little knives ( Kirpan), its part of their long established religious beliefs. *shrugs*

Don't really know but even so it shouldn't be allowed, thats the whole purpose of the Military uniform, if we allow people to be creative with it , it destroys the whole purpose of having one, might as well let Soldiers wear whatever the hell they want. If we allow this why not allow the men to wear turbans and grow jihadi beards?
Stop and think for a moment.....since our military is fighting FOR people/gov't whose culture it is to separate the sexes on many levels and who find women NOT wearing the hijab to be offensive, it stands to reason that female military personnel comply with the cultural standard. Also, last time I checked women are STILL not allowed on the front lines of combat with men in the US military, so their chances of taking a head shot is just as good as the military men in those areas who are not wearing combat helmets.
And for the record, your comparison to WW2 "geisha girls" and "nazis" is just plain absurd.
Why is it absurd? if we are trying not to offend the Muslims and throw our service women in hijabs we might as well have dressed up our soldiers in WW2 with swastikas and painted up our soldiers in the Pacific as geisha girls, its the same fucking thing these service women are being told to wear the hijab as to not offend the Afghans. Plus that whole women not allowed on the front lines thing is bullshit, you obviously haven't been in the Military lately because women are in just as much danger as men during deployment, its not just infantry men going behind the wire and riding in convoys.

I'm hoping you're not REALLY this fucking stupid to think that just repeating your idiocy suddenly makes it valid.
Let me dumb it down for you: We were fighting AGAINST the Nazis in WWII, so why in the hell would our soldiers dress to appease the enemy? And "geisha girls" were a part of the Japanese culture of entertainment....which has NOTHING to do with foreign women serving in the a foreign military. Also, the Japanese culture does NOT have the same cultural system as does some Middle Eastern cultures....do some homework and you'll note how the US military made certain adjustments in behavior in order to make their occupation more applicable to the Japanese culture.
And as to women serving in combat, while more women are getting involved via their specific jobs, there is STILL a ban on women directly serving in combat on par with men. Look it up.
And one should note that the photo shown is not proof that women do not wear their helmets in a hot zone.
So bottom line: your hysteria about head scarves is just that....knee jerk hysteria by low informationed neocon parrots hyped on Limbaugh.

We are fighting against Muslims in Afghanistan you stupid ass faggot, so why should our female service women don a hijab? the male Soldier is wearing a helmet and the females are wearing hijabs with no protection you stupid ass cock sucking ass licking faggot, that is not safe and very dangerous. And you can take your no women serving in combat bullshit and stick it up your ass, you don't know jackshit about the Military, like I said before you fucking mongrel women soldiers are in the line of fire everyday as soon as they go behind the wire regardless of MOS, and the fucking enemy isn't not going to shoot at them because of some stupid legality which means absolutely nothing.

I love it when just some simple facts and logic reduce neocon simpletons like "high gravity" to a bunch of petulant schoolyard children screaming their frustrated little heads off because they realize they lost the argument.
Is the photo taken in a hot zone engaging the enemy? Nope, but clowns like "High Gravity" ASSUME it is to make his assertions plausible.
Women are STILL "officially" banned from combat...and the wearing of the scarf is NOT a replacement for the helmet WHEN IN THE COMBAT ZONE.
So unless this "high gravity" buffoon can FACTUALLY disprove what I've posted, I won't waste time responding to his repetitive dribble.
