Does the religious exemption for a turban and beard create enough of a reason to deny someone the right to defend their country if they can perform the duties as well as any other military personnel?

You think he was the first ***** guy in the Army who was religious?  This whole thing is pure bullshit and symptomatic of the ridiculous attitude that is permeating this society, that all rules must be abandoned and every little pissant walking has some god given right to express himself and the rules shouldn't apply to me because I came up with some horseshit exception. 

Everybody else can conform but this guy shouldn't have to.  The bleeding hearts are out of control.  And the Army lets him do it to avoid all the further bullshit that would come down if they didn't.
