Rabbi Doesn't Need To Shave Beard To Become Army Chaplain, Court Rules

Federal Court Rules Chabad Rabbi Menachem Stern Can Keep His Beard, Become Army Chaplain

http://news.yahoo.com/rabbi-become-army-chaplain-beard-173612195.html

Every once in ten years or so, our injudiciary system manages to issue a ruling that's not a travesty and abomination. It looks like right now was one of those events. Good on Rabbi Stern for not giving up the fight. (The military sure doesn't seem to have a problem with bearded imams now, do they?)

Awesome news.... I believe that there are some laws that require companies, and the government, to grant religious freedom. I have been told that is probably why my company hasn't asked me to shave my beard, or cut my peyos...

If they didn't they know they would have a massive lawsuit on their hand for infringing on basic civil rights.

While I am happy for the court ruling, the military usually doesn't allow beards for safety reasons because the safety equipment to protect against gas masks doesn't seal to the face, i honestly think the man would be better off not serving in the military, also why would someone want to join the military that is under Obama?
