It is important to maintain discipline in the army, because essentially your life depends on it. If you forget to bring the battery to your radio, get lazy and don’t keep a low profile,or just say screw it and do what you want. You can get yourself or someone else killed or maimed for life. And apparently shaving is part of that discipline. Here is what the army has to say about male grooming standards.
Male haircuts will conform to the following standards:
The hair on top of the head must be neatly groomed. The length and bulk of the hair may not be excessive or present a ragged, unkempt, or extreme appearance. The hair must present a…show more content… The reasoning behind this is that with facial hair a soldier cant get a proper seal between his skin and the army issued gas mask. I personally think this is a bogus reason, because its my opinion that if we were attacked with biological or chemical weapons. We would all die because even if we could get it all on in time i seriously doubt it would be affective anyway.
A reason that I myself have recently considered is that it gives us a task to complete for the day. There are many days while in garrison that soldiers sit around and do nothing until its time to go home. Not because they are lazy, but because they simply have nothing to do. So i guess you could say that at the very least we get paid to shave everyday.
The last and final reason I have considered for being a reason we are made to shave is that some of the soldiers cannot grow facial hair. So out of a need to make everyone feel on an even keel and to keep younger or less developed soldiers from feeling insignificant. The army makes those of us who are able to look like Grizzly Adams,shave. So in conclusion you have the “reasons” the army makes soldiers shave. And also you have my one theories on the subject. You can pick and choose the reasons or come up with your own theories. However the cold hard truth is either way we still have to shave. And until the man chopps from the days of Grant and Lee or the goat braids of Leonidus come back. We all will have to
Being in the army, means you are part of a team. Being part of a team means you have to rely on other people, and other people have to rely on you. If you aren't being a team player then you can let the team and your battle buddies down. By not shaving, you are letting your battle buddies and team down. The army is based on uniformity and cleanliness. When you don't shave you begin to expire that idea. Shaving in early armies as a preventative measure. They shaved the hair to prevent the…
Canada’s work force was now severely depleted. Everyone remembers the prestigious men and women of Canada for their effort in the war helping the Allied side defeat the German enemy. We must remember though that the soldiers were not a self sufficient army, navy, and air force but rather part of the larger war machine that was Canada. When Canadians think of the war they must remember the country that stood behind our soldiers in Europe. As Canadians we must especially remember the women who stayed home…

Guantanamo Bay “ I LEFT Guantánamo Bay much as I had arrived almost five years earlier — shackled hand-to-waist, waist-to-ankles, and ankles to a bolt on the airplane floor. My ears and eyes were goggled, my head hooded, and even though I was the only detainee on the flight this time, I was drugged and guarded by at least 10 soldiers. This time though, my jumpsuit was American denim rather than Guantánamo orange ... How did I arrive at this point?” (Kurnaz 1). Murat Kurnaz is not a terrorist and…
