Pete Hegseth refuses to meet with bearded soldiers in South Korea

[Superbadbrutha]

If your boss tells you to shave your beard, you shave your beard. It's just hair. It grows back.

Not if you have a shaving profile, you don't.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Yes, all correct. I was in the Army from 1982 to 1993. I never saw a non-black soldier with a shaving profile, though I'm sure there have been some.

Anyway, Pete Hegseth is the Secretary of War, thus second only to Trump in a soldier's chain of command. Honestly, that ends any argument, unless Trump over-rules him.

You must have been in a Division or on a post that was all white.

Pete has stated that the rank and file be shaved, just like the beds have to be made properly,
dress shoes properly shined, etc.
Although, special forces can have beards.

They are shaved, the only folks who are not are the ones who have a shaving profile.

What gives your boss that right?

 

[Unkotare]

Wh

Hegseth’s just posturing. He’s trying to act like he’s a badass

There’s logic behind no obese soldiers. There’s zero logic to saying all soldiers have to be clean shaven, especially in a society where 75% of men today have some sort of facial hair

Where did you get that figure?

 

[Unkotare]

What gives your boss that right?

Being the boss.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Tell us about his medical background.

Tell me about yours.

We only had that when Democrats were in charge.

Thanks for your opinion.

" Close Clipping Versus Shaving Satisfies Combat Requirements "

* Beards For Sectarian Supremacist Towel Heads *

The purpose of tight hair cuts and no beard relates with self defense when grappling , and for susceptibility to injury from flame .

The curly hair of blacks is such that clean shaving often resulted in ingrown hairs and keloid scarring , and so medical no shaving profiles are issued .

This moniker has not close shaved with a razor in years , optioning instead to use a clipper without a guard , which does not create raw skin .

The purpose of being clean shaven in the Army is so your gas-mask will seal properly.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

Tell me about yours.

I'm a black man that was in the Army that has a profile, how about you?

 

[Superbadbrutha]

We only had that when Democrats were in charge.

You mean the ones that were renamed after racist and Confederate traitors.

You mean you had a profile?

Having a disability does not impart a medical degree.

I knew some black guys with shaving profiles. They bragged about being able to go out on the economy and pass as tourists instead of American soldiers.

How long did you have your profile?

" Clean Shaven Is For Appearance And Discipline But Not For Function "

* True But Over Kill *

The purpose of being clean shaven in the Army is so your gas-mask will seal properly.

An approximate 1/16th of an inch of hair that remains after using clippers would not cause a gas mask not to seal and it would also not result in hair being cut below the skin which causes the keloid problems .

You'd die in a Nerve gas attack because you wouldn't be able to seal your mask.

If your beard is trimmed the mask will seal.

Why aren't you bitching about the Reveille?

" Sectarian Intentions To Disrupt Esprit De Corps "

* Military Mission Not An Aesthetic Fashion Show Of Prides And Prejudices *

If your beard is trimmed the mask will seal.

Are military tenets to be consistent with esprit de corps ?

Unlike physical properties that are immutable , such as genetics , creed is mutable , prejudicial and discriminatory .

A sectarian votive regards garb of attire , or insignia , or physical appearance , as symbols of conviction for some creed , which purposely introduces bias , discrimination and prejudice .

The creation of physical distinctions by sectarians , to overtly distinguish themselves from others , intends to introduces discrimination for their own creed , which disrupts esprit de corps .

Esprit de corps is a French term meaning "spirit of the group," referring to a feeling of pride, fellowship, and common loyalty shared by members of a particular group. It describes a sense of camaraderie and shared purpose that can lead to increased morale, loyalty, and a greater willingness to cooperate and support each other.
