Is this badass or is it the Marine Corps accepting everything from everyone?

This is much more complex than just a turban.

How much do we expect a military organization to yield to personal differences?  Isn't uniformity a thing or is it a thing of the past?

What happens when weed is part of someone's religious or cultural beliefs?

Do they get to smoke weed off duty or even on?  Sound extreme? I thought I'd never see the above!

AND NO THIS IS NOT AGAINST THIS MARINE OR HIS RELIGION!

In my mind its bigger than that.  He doesn't have to be a Marine. Whether enlisted or officer if religion, social, racial, or other creeds with their individual differences and peculiarities are allowed than its no longer a uniformed service but instead a hodge podge.

Is this old guy thinking?  Not sure.  Today's Marines certainly don't seem to give a fuck but just wow.  

The old "you are all equally worthless" doesn't seem to apply anymore.  Guess you can get a chit for anything.
