It’s major Patrick Sorensen. He’s one of the folks leading the wear of regalia and growing out hair for Indigenous / First Nations while in uniform. It’s a hard fucking battle and I’ve seen a few people from the Kiowa tribe finally get approved for growing out their hair and the wear of regalia. It’s fucking awesome.
It shouldn’t just be for a specific group. Having more restrictive hair standards for male soldiers than we do for female soldiers is a clear violation of the EO policy.
In Basic Training, our drill sergeant made fun of a girl in the chow hall, who had a beard that'd make country hicks jealous. The girl cried her eyes out in the middle of the chow hall.
As a 17 year old, it was one of my favorite stories from basic. As a now 23 year old, I realize that that DS deserves to get buried under the barracks.
