DOD To Allow Muslim Cadets to Wear Hijabs

“We welcome the fact that Muslim and Sikh students nationwide will now be able to participate fully in JROTC leadership activities while maintaining their religious beliefs and practices,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.

Thank you President Obama. We're sure the country will enjoy seeing junior ROTC cadets wearing turbans along with their military issue uniforms. With the repeal of DADT and this latest rule change from the Department of Defense Obama and the Democrats are rapidly transforming our proud military into a politically correct diversity outreach program. In my opinion junior ROTC is nothing more than an outreach program to begin with but to reduce it to an organization whose adherence to the rules of attire and conduct cannot compete with the Boy Scouts is both tawdry and stupid. Unit cohesion is built around the the concept of uniform treatment and uniform expectations. To expect less from one group only damages that cohesion. More.
