    If they had a threat of chemical warfare, they would have to shave too. You can’t get a good gas mask seal with facial hair unless you use a ton of Vaseline and have time to prepare.

      Yes, in those circumstances everyone needs to be clean shaven. But it’s not an everyday thing and a Marine with the condition could deal with the problem afterwards.
