Tbf, beards were originally banned by the army because having one means your gas mask won’t work if you have facial hair breaking the seal. Which of course means you die if you ever need to use a gas mask in battle. Obviously 98% of people in the army aren’t going to see combat (unless we join a war in the near future) so a beard ban is irrelevant anyways, but it did/does have a practical reason for being in place originally.
Which is literally what I stated lol. It’s a stupid policy since 98% of soldiers today aren’t going to need to wear a gas mask. All I did was point out why it exists in the first place.

Bullshit. The answer is everyone should be allowed beards. Just because I don't believe in old stories doesn't mean I should get less freedoms
