Connor Crawn celebrated receiving a religious accomodation to wear his hair in a distinctive braid by making a Tik Tok video. He was, he believed, the first Native American in the U.S. military to win the right to wear his hair in a long braid as a symbol of his indigenous heritage and faith.
“Not a lot of people understand or know what hair length or having long hair means in a lot of different native cultures,” Crawn said in the video which had nearly 24,000 views and over 2,000 comments. “This is a huge deal, because as far as I know, within modern United States military history, I'm the first Native American to be approved a religious accommodation request.”
Crawn is Kanien'kehà:ka, or the Mohawk Nation, one of the five nations of the Iroquois, whose origins trace to an area in and around present-day upstate New York and Montreal, Canada. Since he announced the approval of his religious accomodation, he said, dozens of Native men in the Air Force, Army and Marines to reach out to him for mentorship, including through his Tik Tok video.

Great so the enemy , after they cut off his head, can hang it on a punji stick with the provided braid.
It seems not a lot of people know what it means that serve your country.
Just part of the plain to destroy the country
That’s a mighty nice handle.
Plus this yob isn’t using natural leather for his toes he’s using goirlie hair bands
Talk about a dumb handle...
Gate open, freakazoids will be dressing up as women and women as men, tu tu’s in the cockpit. The degenerate destructive rats have managed to destroy foundations which is the plan of the Marxist manifesto, cloward piven for the economy, agenda 21/30 already in play, outlawing paper money, plastic only so they can control your money and shut you down if you dont agree or obey, the great reset and lets Not forget build back better when it is all done, OH and now signed into law every car in the US 2026 will be equipped with a shut off switch controlled by you know who. And yet the rats win state and local elections tuesday, Im beside myself and disgusted
“OMG they just dont get it.”
NO they don’t
Was long hair a tradition in the Iroquois Air Force?
Or maybe they do and it’s all part of the plan to weaken the military & country
BINGO.
Gives the enemy something to grab for easier access to your throat
He is from the Mohawk Nation. How come he is not in a mohawk cut with war paint like the Filthy Thirteen 101'st AB Demolition Section?
The presumption is that white people have no heritage. Only people of color. But, equal rights should mean that accommodations for any, means similar accommodations for all. Expect increasing numbers of white people to discover their heritage and demand accommodation.
You apparently don’t get it either.
The constant erosion of discipline and rules that serve a purpose of societal norms, just like accurate unrevised history, is discarded to let everyone know that the New World Order is in charge.
You are free to act like children, with no consequence, and live like a parasite from the work of others.........THAT is the "New" American Way.
Individualism is not conducive to unit cohesion.
No problem with Indians dipping into their heritage while in the armed force. The first time I was honored for my service, way back in the post-Viet Nam era, was at a pow wow. I was sitting in the audience, and the chief was bragging about his sons, two of the greatest warriors in the world he said, one a Marine and the other an Airborne Ranger. Then he organized his warriors into a war dance, include female warriors. Then he called down the veterans in the audience. First the combat veterans. Then the veterans who didn’t serve in combat (that included me). I wondered why I should be among the combat veterans. It was humbling. But, then, I thought I didn’t write the orders that sent me to Europe as opposed to Viet Nam. I will always be thankful to the chief for honoring all of us.
