The beard part of this doesn't bother me.  I know some special forces are allowed to wear beards in order to blend in to the culture where they are serving.  

I'm not a big fan of the turban/hijab part of the new dress code.  I don't think it fits the image of an American solider.  I know, I know, it's a religious right and I can't discriminate against others religions or their beliefs.  That doesn't mean that I have to like it.

You are an American and your God given right is not to like it, no matter what others think. These people must be our new Afghanistan force. Talk about blending in.However, look at the infiltrators that opened fire in Afghanistan and Ft. Hood. Hopefully, they are setting them up to be lined against a wall because I wouldn’t give you two cents for any of them. I surely trust none of them, even the women.

The onlt freaking thing that the Govt has that works decent is the Military.  This is just PC Gone Wild to bring them down.  Frankly, I not only don’t like it, it scares me for the future.
