I don't know...
We need good people. - It's becoming harder and harder to meet recruiting goals.
Sikhs are good people - Consistently the best staff members I have are Mormons and Sikhs. I may not agree with their crazy ideas on God, but they sure know how to raise character filled, hard working kids.
For Sikhs the turban is not really optional, it's a core part of their religious identity. They will rarely enlist if they have to cut their hair and do without the turban. This is a GOOD male population of 250,000 in the US that we're missing out on.
This isn't women in combat arms, or BS 52 pronouns, this is simply removing barriers to good people. I liken it to a med waiver for a quality recruit.
