1. Who cares if he has a beard, Put the Sob on trial and get it over with. The families need justice.

2. You know how the military is. Rules are rules.

Military guys have to be clean shaven, I think. Wearing a beard is slapping the military authority in the face or showing disrespect.

Like court rules that forbid men wearing hats in the court room or a no jeans rule. I think forcibly shaving him is fine. It's just a beard. And those are the military rules. HE chose to join the military.

3. I agree.

I'm all for defending people's religious rights, but this asshole wasn't so adamant about wearing that beard when he shot and killed thirteen people in the name of that religion he wants defended.

Can't have it both ways.

8. And if he gets convicted by the military court .....

.... he will then have a basis of appeal in that he can say the court was prejudiced against him since he had a beard in the court.

4. shit forget all the rules just kill him off and forgetaboutit,right? At least we all will have

proven the united states doesn't stand for much any longer. Hell yes lets all get down to their level. Whatever happened to justice? I want the process and if he is guilty then justice.

5. Bwwwwwwwwahahahahaha, "if he is guilty then"

7. Well I would say just reading some of the comments they would probably say "hang the SOB".

Me that is to easy to kill him. I want him to get life without any change of seeing the light of day. I want him to remember everyday what he did. No tvs or sport activities and make sure you cut the beard off. Feed him pork and all kinds of meats that he isn't suppose to eat. Yep that is what I would do. Slow torture for sure. He will be begging for death.
