Should really help with their recruitment crisis. Nice work as always guys.
- 0% chance they kick anyone out for this they couldnt even find enough fit bodies to march in Trump's stupid parade
  
  Probably one of those things on the books to discharge specific “problem” individuals rather than large groups.
  
  Ah man, I just realized I could have trolled so many chuds by saying the parade (which at least appeared to be mostly white men) went badly because of DEI
The state is demoralizing and shrinking its own army? Okay
- JDPON Don wins again
They're retracting the fucking keloid waiver? Are you fucking me.
Being stupid may be a precondition of racism but fuck me if there isn't another layer of dumb these racist empire mongers have slapped on top. This is like "refusing treatment from a black doctor and dying of the easiest preventable cause" levels of racist and stupid.
Literally 1970s era racism.
- According to the article (which is well written and interesting) in the 1970s is when the flexibility about shaving was introduced.
  So go back further.
  
  Literally ~~1970~~ 1960s era racism.
That's right. Piss off the military
remember how a year ago, the FBI was thwarting assaination attempts on Trump on like, a weekly basis? very smart move for Trump to kick out and alienate more people who have experience with sniper rifles
- Man at this point if an army guy was going to do something they already would have. He's basically been calling them losers for 10 years at this point. He still carried the military vote.
  
  Calling them losers doesn’t have a material effect. Firing them does.
If they go through with kicking them out it may be possible to get a list of those affected to directly target them for radicalisation.
Mandatory shaving is dumb. Retvrn to big Army mustaches and beards.
- It's a remnant from ww1 where they had to mandate it for gas mask reasons. WW1 was also the war that killed uniforms with swag. WW1 was a humanitarian and a sartorial disaster.
They force you to sign up + complete some dropdowns. Annoying as fuck.
The military almost put its foot down when the executive branch told them to kick out all the trans soldiers. I wonder if they will actually do it this time?
Soldiers in need of prolonged waivers may be directed to get laser treatments.
- Military bans permanent shaving waivers, which are predominantly used by people with pseudofolliculitis barbae, which predominantly affects black men, and the article discusses the possibility of laser hair removal, which also infamously is not as effective on dark skin! Wow!
