Why Is Beard Not Allowed In Military But Moustache Is Allowed? by eDoctorr(m): 7:47am On Nov 27, 2018 |
Please I want a convincing answer to this question especially in Nigerian Army. I have seen a view number of military personnels with Moustache but you can hardly find a military man keeping beards. What's your say?

mustache makes one look like a complete gentleman beards combined with goatee makes one look like a castrated HE goat especially the northern HE goat the military wouldn't want to associate itself with the latter 40 Likes 3 Shares |

Most of the enermies are Arabians or better still share similar culture with them (Arabians) Now this culture is the beard grooming, you arent considered to be a real man without possessing the fully groomed beard. Most terrorists inculcate this culture hence in other to differ from the terrorists, and recognise themselves, the military made a rule to cut off all soldiers beard so as not to look like a terrorist and so as to be recognized. 2 Likes 1 Share |

There is a very simple technical reason. Gas masks. It is designed to protect you from bio-chemical warware. Mask is made mostly from rubber. That rubber must stick well to the skin on your face. Moustache won't prevent that. However, a beard will get between the rubber and the facial skin and allow poisons to get in. Once you inhale the poisons, you are done. Therefore, for the gas mask to work properly, the face should not only be without a beard but clean-shaved. Only then functioning of the mask is 99% guaranteed. 37 Likes 3 Shares |

DaFlash: Not totally correct. Many Naval officers wear beard including Nigeria. Thats Ojukwu spotting a beard in Nigeria Army uniform not as a rebel Some soldiers of some countries also spot beards including US Marines as shown below 8 Likes
