It's a joke that hair is deemed essential. https://twitter.com/MCIWPendletonCA/status/1248674958345031680

Asking that lady to risk her life to cut Marines hair. Super noble. Semper Buzzcut

If most everywhere else in the country has shut down barber shops and gyms to comply with safety guidelines and the Marines don't, it's not because the Marines know better. It's because they place those things above safety. Just saying it's your top priority doesn't make it so.

Remember when the Marines recklessly refused to evacuate service members from Lejuene and Hurricane Florence devastated it? Really tells you about priorities. https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2018/09/12/camp-lejeune-is-preparing-for-war-with-hurricane-florence/

Hurricane Florence caused $3.6 billion in damage to Lejuene but the two star in charge told us it wasn't flood prone prior to the storm, which was the reason he didn't evacuate it. This is a trend. Governor of the state orders a thing, Marines know better https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2018/12/12/36-billion-price-tag-to-rebuild-lejeune-buildings-damaged-by-hurricane-florence/

I can only assume that these barbers are being given proper PPE, that they aren't wearing the same mask all day giving haircut after haircut. Especially given what we knows about asymptomatic spreaders. But it sure looks like those employees are wearing homemade masks.

I bet if Marines grew their hair out during the pandemic everything would be ok.
