That being said I don't have a problem with people wearing turbans or beards or long hair, etc (many of our special forces do). However I am a traditionalist when it comes to the military uniform. IMO before you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or Skih....you are American. Matt showed a picture of a Army soldier with a camo turban. Where in this mans religious doctrine says that he must where a turban or not where US Army head gear? Beyond ridiculous IMO.

I truly don't know about the turban itself, but it is used to contain their hair, which a baptized Sikh is strictly forbidden to cut. They are forbidden to cut hair from anywhere on their body.
