CNN reports: "The U.S Army has granted a member of a religious minority permission to keep his turban, beard and uncut hair while he serves in the military, the Pentagon and a group representing him said."

So let me get this straight, gays are supposed to be bad for unit cohesion according to the DOD, and homosexuality is a "lifestyle choice" according to social conservatives, but isn't being a Sikh a lifestyle choice as well? Is it not a choice to grow a beard, wear a turban and be a Sikh?
This is ridiculous, gays who want to serve in the military are not asking for special treatment, so why the hell should a bunch of weird Sikhs, a religion hardly anyone knows about, be welcomed with open arms?
