I recall paperwork from the early to mid 70's that had something about headgear and underwear for Sikhs.
I read that whole thread. Obviously, I agree with you and Brandon Friedman about the awfulness of US Army supply and the inadequacy of interpreters. I thought it is controversial to bring up sexual preference when it involves soldiers.

That's exactly the problem as I see it.
On another note: With all respect to the SF world and its special situation, I (hyper-capitalist, fanatical individualist) must agree with Patton when it comes to general purpose forces:
"An Army is a team. It lives, sleeps, eats, and fights as a team."
Was there once too much emphasis on spit and polish in the Army? As an incurable slob, I say, "Boy, howdy!"
However, there is real, tangible value in uniformity, especially among 18-24 year old Soldiers.
There are three kinds of people in this world:
Those who can count, and those who can't.
I think I need to start the No-Glowbelt Church.It is also worth noting that the Sikh doctor got approval to wear his turban and beard. He did NOT get approval go without a reflective belt. That would be too much.
