Seems pretty retarded to throw a perfectly good soldier into prison because of a bit of facial hair, what if manpower is low? At what point do you start risking losing the war because of facial hair?
Well I would say that a soldier who cares that much about his precious beard is not a perfectly good soldier but rather a prima-donna that is likely to throw a similar hissy fit every time a personally disagreeable regulation is applied to him.

He'd be bad news for any military unit and I for one certainly wouldn't want him in the foxhole next to me.
