Accused Fort Hood Gunman’s Beard Postpones Court Hearing

A pre-trial hearing for accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan was postponed Friday after the judge ruled the defendant‘s beard was in violation of the Army’s grooming standards.

It was the first time Hasan, accused of the 2009 mass shooting rampage that left 13 dead, had appeared in court with a beard, MSNBC reported. Because Hasan is still considered an active-duty soldier who has retained his military rank, he is required to remain clean-shaven when in uniform or civilian clothes.

“It is a disruption. The judge felt it was,” Fort Hood media officer Chris Haug told MSNBC. ”He‘s in violation of the Army’s dress and grooming standards,”

Isn't it funny that this Muslim is still an active duty solider meaning he is still being paid. Where is Obama, Jackson , and Sharpton on this one. Just court marshal the SOB AND HANG HIM.

army standards must be pretty low if the only thing they can find him in violation of is his beard!

Good for the judge. Remind everyone this is about the Army disciplining one of its own.
