What absolute bullshit. I see some utility in dress codes for attire, but as far as the way one wears one’s hair, I don’t see any reason for it.
I had to look up where Girard, KS was. it is in the southeast corner near Pittsburgh. A poorer small town with 2.6K people.
Even more fucking bullshit. And odd bullshit. Unless the hospital is lying to cover their asses, it looks like they didn’t officially cut it? Weird.
Facial hair was actually part of the uniform for a long time for many countries. WWI changed that because you needed a good seal on gas masks and those regulations continued into WWII and beyond with only mustaches being allowed (at least in the US).
During the GWoT, certain units who were embedded with local groups were allowed to grow their beards out as it was part of local customs. It and hippsters (to a degree) are why beards have been much much more prevalent in the last 15 years.
While still not allowed for most parts of the military, there are some exceptions like Sikhs can have beards now.
