U.S. Army Makes Big Decision About Ban on Sikh Soldier’s Beard and Turban — but Is The Battle Really Over? | TheBlaze.com

U.S. Army Makes Big Decision About Ban on Sikh Soldier’s Beard and Turban — but Is The Battle Really Over? | TheBlaze.com:

"A religious liberty law firm is cautiously optimistic about the U.S. Army’s granting of a temporary religious accommodation to a Sikh member of the armed forces, allowing him to keep a beard and wear a turban.

The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty said in a statement that the decision allows Captain Simratpal Singh, 27, to serve in the Army, while still abiding by his sincerely held religious beliefs — but the temporary provision only lasts for the next month while the Army further contemplates."

I'm sick and tired of making accommodations for those who want the benefit but don't want to play by the rules.
If you want to be an American, you follow the rules, you learn English and you assimilate to our culture. 
If you want to be a soldier, you follow the military rules.
If you want to be the president, you follow the Constitution.  Oh, there it is; the leader of our country can't follow the rules.  
I guess exceptions are now the rule.
