Not addressing the hijab piece and please keep replies tasteful, but I didn't know soldiers could sue the Army. Is this a thing?

A member of the Armed Forces can sue when a Constitutional right is being violated, but the soldier still must request this from the Command and start with the JAG office.

New Army policy OKs soldiers to wear hijabs, turbans and religious beards
Observant Sikhs and conservative Muslims are officially able to wear religious head coverings and beards, thanks to a directive issued Tuesday that updates the Army's grooming and appearance regulations.
