„I was talking to an officer just causally about why soldiers can’t have beards and I was like „So why?” He said „Because a beard doesn’t allow for a gas mask to get a proper seal” and I ws like „Ok…but if your stateside and not in a combat environment what the chances of you suddenly needing to put a gas mask without notice?” he goes „You just never know” and I went „Ok so do you carry around a gas mask with you?” He goes „No.” I go „But what if there is a gas attack, how are you going to protect yourself?” He goes „A gas attack is unlikely, no need to carry around a mask.”
I smiled and said „So why can’t soldiers have a beard?”
