I’ve had a beard non-stop for the last year and a half. Occasional visits to my barber, a brush and a supply of beard oil is all I need for keeping a nice full beard, brown with a hint of red and blond.

I want to start off with expressing my sincere gratitude towards the anonymous source who sent me the Link that got me interested in this matter.; and to Hannah Wallen who helped me out to a great extent in researching this topic.

by Alex Thorne

An Afghanistan veteran’s thoughts on the draft
The genesis of this piece was to reach out to the Honey Badgers with some of my thoughts on women in “Combat Arms” Military Occupational Specialties (MOS) and the draft.
