Why is it that West Point Military Academy Instructors tell their Cadets that "real leaders don't have facial hair?" That is the most emasculated sissyfied statement I ever heard. An American Soldier is a Warrior including Officers. Maybe one of you Officers can explain this to me. My guess is that the officer that initially started this was a sissy that you could never trust in a gun battle.

Kinda messed up what you just said there. A percentage of men get no shave chits/forms, so that means the rest are women? Heck even your profile picture shows no beard!! Hmmm....

I have a moustache that I started in DaNang in 1970, so my opinion may be colored by that fact.

MSG Brad Sand, it was kept trimmed to military regulations when I was in - the handlebars didn't sprout until I was out.
It hasn't changed for about 40 years now; it only grows to a certain length and then stops. I think I'm a German Shorthair.
