The Intercept has published new reporting on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s push to eliminate beard waivers in the U.S. military. Service members say the move undermines religious freedom and disproportionately affects Black airmen, Muslims, Sikhs and Pagans. The piece draws on firsthand accounts and policy analysis, showing how a debate over grooming standards has become a broader fight over inclusion and discrimination.

Yeah, the military has a bunch of dumb rules. Beards and haircuts are the least of their worries, though. They don’t even really have freedom of speech.
