So, he's a cop and a soldier?? Thank you for your service!!

[@mouriqueritchie6851]

This guy is a soldier and a cop, risking his life for your freedom and safety more ways than one and you're worried about his haircut? @Mike Airborne

[@whosyourdaddy5719]

@Mike Airborne The hair is within the 670-1. The regulation basically states your side hair cannot be within two inches of your ear, rest the army doesn't care.

[@Ulbre]

I think that @Mike Airborne was just being a little silly and sarcastic.......didn't pick his moment well and flopped.......

[@skimaskman]

​@@DarthScorpion But heres the thing, if he does that then the job is up to the UN Security Detail or NATO countries present to protect the region from the growing threat of Terrorist Groups. Not only that, but the United States has been the biggest supplier for Arms & Equipment and being the biggest military force to be stationed there, so if we leave without giving our allies the protection they need to keep the area secure then they won't rely on us in the future and we will be laughing stocks. Not every European Country has the Military power to take control of the Middle East, which is known to have over 50 terrorist organizations and Guerilla style fighting groups, only 3 to name off of: Great Britian, France, and Germany. Take it for what its worth, i'm not going to scrutinize you for wanting Military Personnel home *(wouldn't know if you have someone you know in the Military or you are Anti-War in general)* but they to do this. They joined the Military since its their Patriotic Duty to serve our Country, they're fighting to keep your rights afloat instead of in the hands of a Islamic Republic or Authortiarian/Dictatorship.

[@mdshoiebulhaque5599]

He hugged him 4 times, probably gonna hugging a lot more next in home. Passing tensed time, then getting surprise as coming home and then get a huge respect from workplace for his son, that's nothing just a dream for a father. Maybe it is one of the best moment of his entire life.

[@rudylopez5060]

Wow.. this soldier is one of a kind.. after his tour of duty as a soldier, he returns his job as a cop in 43rd precinct. How cool is that? Its super rare

[@nkpv808]

It’s actually not as rare as you might think! Many civilian police officers are also Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, or Coast Guard Reserve. Also Army National Guard or Air National Guard. I’m a full time policeman and sergeant in the Air Force Reserve. It’s a great way to have the best of both worlds, but also sometimes the struggles of both worlds. Deployments are not easy when your family is so used to having you home most days.

[@perijetton9275]

Deployment is hell for parents. I love this story. Welcome home sir and thank you! 🇺🇸🇺🇸✌️

[@skimaskman]

But not all members of the Military feel that way, some feel honored.
