Ffs... Beardos? Pete just can't grow a beard because he's not fucking man enough. How is it manly to engage in purely cosmetic rituals to make one look more child-like daily?

Because when you are losing a war, the sort of facial hair you have really matters. Reality doesn't back them up, so they have to go for crass appearance. Not "weak" my ass.
Also trans women -- notoriously amazing tech skills
From memory the facial hair things isn't really about appearance but a way to kick poc out.
The facial hair thing started before they really let African people into the army as a way to ensure a good gas mask seal during WW1. I think it's a dumb rule enforced only for some amorphous idea of "discipline" nowadays, though.

I don't understand how ? can you elaborate ?

I want to be present.Yeah no trans people means your dumb ass just crippled military intelligence.
Also aren't special forces super into having beards? I'm glad if we're cutting back on them, especially the seals, the psycho bastards. And of course he's a weirdo himself
It's a dog whistle. Everyone who's been in the army with an ethnically mixed population knows many black people (think West African mostly) have severe skin issues if they shave fully. I had two guys in my section (so I assume more in the company but I can't recall) with exemptions and, of course, they were black.
Oh, wow, ok. I had no idea
The military started banning beards in WWI because they don’t work with gas masks (RIP cool civil war beards). They were only allowed again during the global war on terror because American soldiers were basically jealous of Afghani fighters’ full beards. Type of shit that’s too goofy to make up
I'm pretty sure "beardos" is only there to rhyme with "weirdos".
He's already cracked down on facial hair in the military. It's been suspected It's intentionally targeted against black men.
I also suspect he's got an issue with beards in general as well, even though I believe he would have used a word for black people instead of beardos if he thought he could get away with it.

Pretty sure it's there as an excuse to cut down on the number of black and brown people
He definitely goes to Turkish bathhouses and sucks dick.
It's like 4chan... Used to be a fun place to talk shit and look at regular porn.. then all the right wingers took it over more every board is full of whining about Christianity and every porn board is full of trans and gay porn..
Right wingers ruin everything.
Regular porn? It's creator is a lolicon what the hell are you talking about.

reminds me of voat. for a while the site was doing very well taking in those tired of Reddit. and it was pretty great. and then Reddit banned the most rascist subreddits and voat was suddenly full of christians. strange coincidence lol
Oh yeah, never seen a pretty cool place for discussions turn into a fascist cesspit that fast.

Does that mean he's going to resign them? Was he using a classification of weirdo that is different to everybody else's.
I guess warriors don't know logistics. It's that how he managed to lose the Iran war?
Genuinely yes, this obsession with killing over establishing strategic goals and following them is how he took a government on the verge of collapse, attacked it, and left it much more stable
