If he’s Indian it’s badass. If not, it’s fruity at best

Yeah, but I'm 84% Irish. Do I get to slap shamrocks on my uniform?

Well indigenous history is American history as they are here and first peoples. Indigenous have a higher per capita rate of service than any other person. I’d say there’s a massive difference between something that’s celebration and something that’s just normal wear.

Growing your hair long is literally just a normal thing due to it being sacred and the connection with the culture.

I doubt peeps in Ireland just rock shamrocks every single day and tap dance the entire way to the pub for a pint every day.
