Okay so I guess Ash should cut her hair too right? She's in the military and is running around with it free.
Women can have long hair in the military. They just have to put it up in a bun while on duty and in uniform, which is what she did in ME1 and ME2.
got nothing to do with safety precautions - where has there ever been a study that gives this argument any merit anyway? I haven't seen one. They're doing it because they want everyone to look same and not have any individuality, being an army of one and all. It's ridiculously narrow minded and boring. Buzz cuts are the worst haircauts ever.
Wrong.
While uniformity does play a role, there are also practical reasons involved for requiring short hair. The reason for short haircuts is that they are easier to keep clean and free of parasites in a field enviroment where conveniences most of us take for granted, like showering or taking a bath, are not always available. Disease can be as much an enemy to an army as bullets. Also long hair that flops down in from your eyes would not be a good idea for soldier or Marine for obvious reasons.
It is for similar reasons that facial hair is generally prohibited as well, though with beards you also wouldn't be able to get a good seal on a gas mask. So with facial hair there is the additional safety issue of protecting the soldier or Marine from chemical warfare.
