British Army to consider allowing soldiers to have long hair or tattoos - just weeks after relaxing its ban on beards Comes after anonymous soldier said women get to bend rules. Could mean all service personnel are treated same regardless of gender/religion.

The British Army has not lifted it's "ban" on beards

I have long hair grown past the middle of my back and a full beard. If I have to go to war I'm shaving it all appropriately. Don't see why this is hard for people to get, you're going to a place where people kill and die, look the part.

Wearing respirators for countering chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats is cited as the reason men should shave every day.... The correspondent added: 'We should be entitled....unless a specific threat is identified.....'

Soldiers should learn to do as they are told, literally.
It might be good to have these rights though, just to scorn them.

Tattoo, why not. But long hair is just not practical...

That's cool. I'd go back in a heart beat if the military let me keep my dreadlocks.

If you want to easily be grabbed from behind and have an easier time getting your throat slit, by all means, do it.
