Sikh Guy Sports Beard and Turban in US Army

[KAPA]

This first was reported on April 1 so I thought it was an April Fool's thing... Yet here it is today and I just realized this is real!

Been about 20 years since I have had a gas mask on so maybe they have improved them for beards, but I am pretty sure that towel isn't stopping a bullet.

I have heard people say that Navy Seals like Chris Kyle have been sporting beards for years but they are doing that to blend in, this guy has a different reason as evidence by the cover.

"To hell with uniform, my beard and turban is more important to me!"
