Note: Maybe I'm dense, but how do a LT and CAPT. in the US Army not know that there are specific grooming and clothing standards in the military? Complain that cutting their hair and removing their turban violates their rights? How did the CAPT. avoid the issue so long? To get to O3, he has to have been in at least a couple of years. Odd issue.
My opinion: They need to observe SOP on grooming/attire or be discharged.

Morning Edition, April 15, 2009 · Two U.S. Army recruits, who are members of the Sikh faith, have filed a complaint against the Army over rules that require them to cut their hair and beards and forbids them to wear turbans. The Sikhs call it religious discrimination. The Army says it bans overt religious symbols and for practical reasons it cannot accommodate the Sikhs' requirements.
