Air Force top brass ‘not inclined’ to allow beards for airmen

"When I talk with our men in uniform: Is this a need or is this a want?"

Sorry airmen, you’re not getting beards without a medical or religious waiver anytime soon, as Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Charles ‘CQ’ Brown and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne Bass made clear in a live Facebook chat on Monday.

“I’m not inclined to change right now the mustache regs or allow for beards,” Brown said in response to a question from airmen regarding possible updates to regulations on beards and mustaches.

Brown’s argument boiled down to: Airmen don’t just represent the Air Force, but the Department of Defense in general, and uniform and grooming changes must be made in coordination with other branches. The general said the Air Force’s decision in January to change the hair regulations for women to allow for braids, ponytails and bangs were also made with that coordination in mind.

The military doesn't believe in religion, first of all, so why are people who claim a religious reason allowed to have beards?  What about the liberal, PC belief in equality?  How can people be denied beards by something the military doesn't believe in, and PC equality of everything says that people everywhere should be allowed to sport them?  Even women if they can do it!!
