I read when they enter basic training the main goal is to strip you of your individuality in order to come together more as a unit. Everyone has the same haircut, clothes, and duties which eliminate any type of pecking order within a unit.
This always has been interesting to me. I like the short haircuts, but are they really necessary to train soldiers? I've never researched it, but we know that from other research from the business, scientific, and engineering worlds, diversity is necessary for excellence. Perhaps it's different for military people, but it's kind of hard to believe. Anyway, it's an interesting question. BTW, the head shaving routine only started in the 1950s, I think (other than to remove lice during the civil war), and the U.S. has not won a war since.
It helps remove lice and makes them all experience something together as a team. Taking away someone’s individuality makes them get along a bit better.
It's so refreshing to see fresh cuts for everyone ✂️💈

If I was there I would tell the Barber to just take a little off the top and leave the sideburns.
Shaving heads of new recruits only happens in america in other countries they don't do that they give them a normal military style haircut

The #1 reason is lice. Yes lice is still prevalent today.
It's team building to shave their heads together ..
Shower together
Shit together
Sleep together
Eat together
Live together.

@@MBJK_baby Yes, I understand that rationale. I'm just questioning if it really helps, matters at all, or hurts.
@@rjcarter2904 it really depends on the guy imo. My cousin didn’t feel any camaraderie but my friends brother did.
Cut hair to accomdate gas masks.
yeah but does everyone wear them?
