Should men in uniform be forced to shave?

Yes, for the sake of uniformity, I do believe that all men should shave in the military. There are also safety concerns (although I don't think Chaplain would be a concern)

Besides, if you absolutely can't follow your religion without special hair/markings/clothing/jewelry, I have concerns about the religion.

One should be able to be faithful in the heart/soul regardless of special hair/markings/clothing/jewelry.

Being in the military is a service profession. You are in the service of the country. We have rules to our game, you have rules in your game.

If you don't want to play by our rules, don't play on our team.

It's still a volunteer force.
