re: #291 Romantic Heretic

What?! The Sikhs, along with the Gurkhas, were among the best soldiers in the British Army!

Oi, racism never really lets go, does it?

“Sikh men are currently allowed to serve with beards and turbans in the military services in Canada, the United Kingdom and India, among other countries, and they were permitted in the U.S. military until the early 1980s, when the policy was changed.”
Hmmm. Who was president then? Probably more afraid of those dirty hippies than the Sikhs.
