A US Marine Corps guidance released in March states that people who suffer from skin conditions like PFB may be discharged; critics argue the policy is ‘racist.’
This is not new. Over 20 years ago, Marines with chronic razor bumps would have to head to the medic to get a waiver for inspections. A couple of them had such a bad case, their waver would allow them to keep a very tightly trimmed beard for their entire time.
So a bunch of trained soldiers are suddenly going to lose their jobs for largely racist reasons and be angry about it. Yeah that seems like a great plan.

Very first sentence in the article is about how they’re removing those waivers.
If those Marines could read they’d be very upset!
Yeah but you don’t understand. That information was not in the headline so there was no possible way of knowing about it.
So, kick everyone out of the military we can for any stupid reason we can when already chronically short staffed.
/OMG we need a draft
Nope, mostly just the brown ones. For…reasons.
