this is another question wich poped into my mind the other day. Why in the military do they make the guys get short hair cutts like buzz cutt short and the women can keep no longer then shoulder i think hair as loong as theey where a pony tail. i dont understand this at all, i really was thinking about joining the military for a job later on down the road but i dont want to kloose my hair, i want to some how fight this, the military is declining me of being all i can be. i want to be a long haired guy and fight for this country, what is so hard about that. i know alot more people would join too if there wasent this crazy hair thing there. Well what the heck im only 17 or 16 somthing like that i got a few years to go befor i make the choice of joing and heck maybe by the time somthing will change, maybe a long haired guy president shall come in stand, i dont care what they where really for id just vote for him because he hasd long hair. im getting a little crazy now here, i think this bordom is driving me nuts. Well id see you folks around

Well, I have no idea. I personnaly came to the conclusion that the army was not a place for me at all. Maybe you should do the same. But you decide what is better for you. Its your choice after all.

Armies (of all countries) don't want you to be yourself, they want you to be an anonymous fighting unit.
If you want to be yourself, you don;t want to be in the army. You can fight for your country just by being a good guy and not letting stupid people do bad things. In many ways this is much braver, and by showing that onghair guys are good guys you will be helping all of us on this board.
Good growing
here is why

Women to my knowlege still do not fight on the front line. So for one in hand to hand combat you do not want a long pony tail that some arab could yank on thus exposing your unprotected adams apple and juggular so he can give it one swift punch or slap and end your life. Not to mention to fight on the front lines they do not want an average person. they want to tear down your self image and any preconseived notions you had of how the world works. the rip and break you until you are a shell of the man you once were and then they build you back up again. they do indeed give you confidence and soem very good trates but in the end it is all preparation to kill without concern or mental anguish and to not hesitate in a situation that could cost your life and that of your friends and comrads. I am not into the military myself but i do appriciate what all those thousands of men and women alike do so I DON'T HAVE TO hehe
