In 2014, the Pentagon announced that members of the various branches of the United States Armed Forces would be permitted to wear religious clothing, have a designated prayer time, and participate in other religious observances.
Under the new policy, troops would first need to apply for a waiver before an individual would be accepted or rejected for an exemption.
This policy would allow for military personnel to wear turbans, grow beards, wear a yarmulke, or carry prayer beads if approved for a waiver. According to the Department of Defense (DOD), religious exemptions would be granted on a case-by-case basis, and may be denied if such practices would interfere with an individual or unit’s mission.
This, of course, has had a trickle-down effect on ROTC programs and military academies, and now a controversy is brewing at the Military College of South Carolina — more commonly referred to as The Citadel.
To read about how the administration there is between a rock and a hard place in decided whether to allow a Muslim female student to wear her hijab with her uniform, continue reading on the next page:

NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No way , letting females in was bad enough please don’t stoop any lower !
No you must not bow to the ridiculous change, we are allowing other people to infringe their beliefs on ours. We will eventually be swallowed by the muslims and Mexicans and any other ethnic group without batting an eye. We have all allowed the cowardly so called leaders become door mats for any damn ed body and I am sick of these outrageous acts perpetrated by bullies and thugs.
NO, stop and look what you are doing. You are saying, again, that America’s traditions and values mean nothing. Follow the rules or don’t join. Uniform manditory and consistent. STOP pandering and pampering these people.
this is a really bad idea!!!!!!! this is America not Islam
Why should we change just for them? I thought the MAJORITY ruled.
If the Citadel allows this, they have then become a second rate school no different than any other college that falls victim to this type of pressure…They use to have a proud tradition that is slowly eroding…….
I am so tired of hearing what Muslims what.
Hahahahaha. The pussification of America’s army. Keep being politically correct and keep voting for progressive democrats. Just wait until Hillary Clinton becomes president and see what she’s going to do to the army. Hahahahaha. They’ll all be wearing pantyhose and tampons. Hahagahagafsfa. The United States deserves everything that’s coming because there is no hope in the people anymore. Get your free$#%&!@*
