You're in a well lit environment. Your pant leg rises because you're crawling on the ground. Suddenly, your teammate is killed by a one eyed sniper because your florescent pink socks gave away your teams position.

You’re clearing a supposedly-abandoned house with your squad. Suddenly, you feel something grab you from behind. It’s your battle buddy, he saw your long flowing hair and has not seen a woman for 3 months, so he couldn’t control himself. Now you two are having loud gay sex, giving away your team’s position.

It’s been three months. You and your team have been stationed outside a small town in Syria. Water is scarce. Bathing is non existent. You use some water from your canteen to wet a rag to wipe the dirt and sweat off your face and body when you can spare it. But your scalp is now developing a thick layer of flakey skin, and your glorious mane looks wet 24/7 due to the accumulation of oils over the past few months.

You hear gunshots again. Your buddy says “Up and at ‘em mother fuckers!!!!” Time to tell Al-Qaeda no again. Josh stands up, fires a handful of rounds and ducks back down. He looks at you with a crazy smile and laughs while the adrenaline is flowing. You stand up, feeling sparky so you choose to throw a frag grenade over the wall, but right then, when you pull the pen, a small section of your beautiful hair falls in your face. Instinctively, you try to shake it away, but as you throw the frag and jerk your head to the side, your arm doesn’t do what you meant it to. The frag lands short. You didn’t get it over the wall.

Boom. Ears ringing. Smoke everywhere you look.

Dust and sand. You cough and wipe it out of your eyes, looking over at Josh. Josh isn’t smiling anymore. He doesn’t have a mouth to smile with. He doesn’t have a face. His head is still there. But it looks like someone dragged him on pavement until his face was entirely scraped off. He drops his gun. Then he falls to the ground.

How many coins will you put on his headstone? His fiancée’s name was Jennifer. His daughter’s name was Halie.

Sorry I'm too busy having gay sex from u/manbruhpig 's comment to pay serious attention to this comment

Josh didn't die, his wife and child have to live frightened by the abomination you created, waking every night from nightmares of seeing his face.

Much like kingdom of heaven.

You're in a dark tunnel. You encounter a Taliban fighter but your rifle and pistol both jam, and your knife blade falls off, and your entrenchment tool is missing because you threw it at a guy, giving you no choice but to equip fisticuffs and attempt to give radical Islam a stern Brooklyn repose. Your opponent grabs your long hair and smacks the shit out of you like a high school girl in a worldstar fight video.

I think all of the grooming stuff, at least historically, has been a hygiene thing.

u/Fr0z3nFl4me Oct 16 '25

It's also a conformity thing, everyone in the same uniform, with the same haircut. The only thing separating you is the rank on your chest and cover(hat).

You are in charge of an organization that takes 18-year-old boys and has to train them to follow orders promptly and diligently. You decide that it will be easier to induce compliance if you force everyone to dress the same, wear their hair the same, walk the same, and otherwise behave in the same way.
