You may have heard that Lord of War (I don't remember the exact new title) Pete Hegseth has established new grooming standards for the military.
As it turns out there is a particular skin condition that has, up until now, had a waiver allowed for it, since there are no real cures for it outside of just not shaving. The condition is called pseudofolliculitis barbae, which makes shaving painful for some men. Those suffering from PFB will be granted one (1) year to cure the condition, for which there is no real cure. If the condition that can't be cured is not cured, they can be summarily dismissed from the military.
Coincidentally, this condition affects one group of men significantly more than other men.
Anyone want to take any guesses as to which group that is?
Pentagon says troops can only be exempt from shaving their facial hair for a year
