but the idea that the default is a clear chin is something that only started during WW2 and with the following GI Joe comics.
I thought the idea of keeping your beard short can’t from older warfare where you’d get your beard grabbed for an easier stabbing if it was too long? Don’t even know where I heard that though… Just remember getting it from decades ago
Most militaries started requiring their soldiers to shave during WWI, because facial hair will break the seal on a gas mask (see also: why I started shaving during covid).
Lots of good reasons to shave. Gas masks were also a reason.
A soldier can shave real quickly before serving, so I just don’t get the ideal of keeping it like that.
As far as I’m concerned it’s all cultural propaganda in the same way as the nuclear family with cut lawns and car dependency. At least it seems to be the same people preaching all of it.
