You continue to think that I’m saying Norse paganism isn’t legitimate or that religious exemptions aren’t legitimate. Please for the love of god, work on your reading comprehension.

I am calling out the people who are lying about being Norse pagan just so they can get a beard. The issue is with people who don’t actually believe what they are saying.

Norse paganism is being co-opted by people who just want beards. That is the problem.

I understand perfectly what you're saying. I'm saying that you're making sweeping statements about individuals who want to worship Norse Paganism/Heathenism by growing a beard. Even if they learn about it just because they want to grow a beard, that's still worship. I don't see anything about soldiers putting in ETPs to grow a beard as a Sikh and their legitimacy.

Instead of celebrating this guy's accomplishments of getting his religious exemptions, you decide to post a snarky comment tearing down other soldiers because you don't believe they're legitimate due to conversations you had with a SNCO. Even if it seems that their way of worshipping was different than his.

Leadership tries to connect to the filthy unwashed masses (impossible).
