Sikh recruits press for right to serve with turbans and beards
Kamaljit Singh Kalsi and Sec ond Lt Tejdeep Singh Rattan lead a Sikh Coalition campaign urging the Army to allow service without shaving beards or removing turbans. They note Sikhs have served in past deployments while others in Canada and Britain allow turbans. The Army reviews the policy. Pentagon and HR officials did not comment. The Sikh community argues embracing diversity reflects America's values and military needs.
