Sikh college student wins battle with Army over hair, turban

[Greybriar]

Just an FYI--The U.S. Army made exceptions for the followers of the Sikh religion in the 1960s. I distinctly remember this because when I was being given a hard time due to my hair being a little too long (I was letting it grow for my discharge in October 1969), I told them I belonged to the Sikh religion to get them off my back. :)

I'm already Sikh of this subject. Sikh's are well known as some of the best soldiers in the world so we'd be lucky to have even a few thousand in our military. I wouldn't care if the guy that pulled me to safety in combat worn pantyhose on his head. Uhhh... They can't do that yet can they?
