Dont get me wrong, when you join the military you dont get to sign up with the option of doing things your way. It's called service for a reason. Everyone sacrifices and spouses and children who didnt even sign on the dotted line sacrifice.
But females have their own standards, so it is intellectually dishonest to claim that the male standards are not at least in part arbitrary.

Short hair and no beard makes lots of sense for a warrior in many ways. No hair to grab for grappling, don and clear a mask quicker, easier and faster personal hygiene, uniformity and esprit d'corp.
