"I heard there are exactly 3 sikhs in the US military so you figure out who this is all about allu akhbar and woe be to any commander who denies muslims their beards and 5 times a day prayer"

You are mixing apples and oranges. Sikh's are a different religion and strongly against Muslims. Do some research.

???? not sure what that snark was directed at

I was discussing what segment of the military this new policy is intended for, not comparing religions

do you think this new policy was announced to cover 3 sikhs or thousands of muslims?

even though the new policy states that commanders are to decide on a case by case basis as it affects the mission, do you think any CinC is going to deny muslims their beards and 5 times a day prayers?

If I was fighting Muslims, I would love to have a Sikh fighting along side. Maybe even a Gurkha.
Now....imagine a Sikh Marine division.
