THIS IS THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT WE MUST BE CONCERNED ABOUT!

[@iamwithjustice.2401]

Less people knows the power of Beards.

[@causewaykayak]

Cant wear gas mask effectively with beard.

[@jerryappleton6855]

1) You can (special forces do it all the time), 2) With long beards on certain individuals which do prevent a tight seal on a gas mask, the rules state soldiers should expect to trim it, 3) It hasn't done Ukrainian soldiers/ Russian soldiers has it? CBRN warfare isn't a thing anymore. It is an old carry over from WW1. If you look at picture if German soldiers in WW2, you'll see they carry a long metal canister. This was for their gas mask. But within 6 months (1940), they realised chemical warfare was a thing if the past so they threw away the mask and used the cannister for food and ammo. So the fact armies still prepare for it is astonishingly embarrassing. It's like drilling infantry for cavalry attacks...

[@Lbm414.Oleg.Kuznetsov.]

This could prove a problem when gas masks are needed to be worn.

[@causewaykayak]

You are correct. This WION is an unreliable and ill informed channel. Best suited only for Indian affairs.

[@causewaykayak]

Do I see my reply deleted ? It was critical of WION accuracy.

[@I-wrote-this-about]

It was proven to be bullshit, you still get a perfect seal.

[@causewaykayak]

​@@I-wrote-this-about Not so. I have beard and for 30 years struggle even with dustmasks at work. I think you know little and are a only a self appointed keyboard expert.

[@Lbm414.Oleg.Kuznetsov.]

@6_years_ago I've been there and bought the t shirt. You do NOT get an effective seal with a beard. It may just work with positive pressure s.c.b.a. You know why this has been introduced as well as I do.

[@patrickchristian9194]

Man, who knew our government can hold debates over such a matter of huge importance?

[@zahrantraders9104]

Beard befits to men looks beauty this is natural this is great difference women and men

[@_wokeweaklingscryoverwords_]

My beard starts growing within 3 weeks.

[@jamiefoyers2800]

That's if you can find any blokes left to join the army in the first place...and besides what about sideburns?.

[@shahidanusrat6086]

As a Pakistani I am so much concerned about UK illegitimate rule in Scotland and Northern Ireland

[@loljk1991]

As an Indian. I am so much concerned of the state of Pakistan Govt, which is controlled by the military 😢

[@causewaykayak]

As a resident of Northern Ireland I say our government is no business of citizens of Pakistan.

[@pritsingh9766]

I didn't bother to read your entire comment after i read "As a Pakistani" .

[@I-wrote-this-about]

Did you try to get brownie points only to get shut down 😂

[@jan_darysh]

Interesting😂It's good to have unique news once in a while.

[@Rickiye]

They learnt from Ukrainians.

[@ourworld4we]

What about indian army??

[@archibaldmaclaine6506]

Only a poser would have a beard when serving. If this is the news from wion then they are having trouble coming up with anything worthwhile then apply the old expression: If you have nothing worthwhile to say then keep your mouth shut!

[@_wokeweaklingscryoverwords_]

How many times did you serve without a beard and how many Wars did you win?

[@I-wrote-this-about]

You Should take your own advice

[@Hamaa5]

BIG MISTAKE!

[@_wokeweaklingscryoverwords_]

Why is that a Big Mistake? Just cause Eunuch's can't grow a beard doesn't mean all Men are Eunuchs.

[@Hamaa5]

@@_wokeweaklingscryoverwords_ Haven’t you seen the videos on how Islamists are planning to take over our country? It’s main objective is to infiltrate the British army!

[@Ellie-vv5tw]

I think they’ll look scruffy tbh and what about the practicalities of wearing gear? Might as well not bother shaving their heads neither then, let all standards slide 🙄
