This is the stupidest fucking timeline

The DOD is arguing over haircuts during a goddam pandemic that is so bad that travel restrictions are preventing me from attending my own father's funeral

Haircuts

AYFKM

This is the dumbest timeline

DOD leaders should MAYBE be more concerned with their troops' mental health right now.

Cause guess what: if I've got crazy hair and a beard, but am in a good mental state and still physically fit (good diet, exercise) it takes five minutes with a barber to be back within regs

This is the type of stupid window dressing that typifies the military establishment of the last two decades

People are dying and people are *still* holding on to old paradigms

Times are changing. Everything is changing. If you don't evolve as an organization, you'll crumble

(and yes, I realize that I've probably reached the "anger" stage in the five stages of grief)
