ETA: 17 Apr 09
The poll will run till sometime on Monday. Who ever has the most votes wins. The winner will have to post a pic of himself (with the same winning beard) and your screen name in the same pic. If the winner can't produce the required pic within 2 days, then I'll go to the person with the next highest votes. Pretty simple I think. 
Here are my top 9 picks: #1 legalese77 
#2 Thealien 
#3 Dave15 
#4 flatfender 
#5 ABLE ARCHER 
#6 schapman43 
#7 Zakk_Wylde_470 
#8 jarlragnar 
#9 Trigger Happy 83 
Thanks for playing, Gene There was a pic of a SEAL I think with a bad ass beard over there in the sandbox. Any one have it? ETA: The pic was found, thank you guys. Now, let us go ahead and make this a "show us your beard" thread. All beards are welcome, no matter how long/short, color, design, etc. Post some pics...

http://br.geocities.com/pitbull_alsosprachzarathustra/us_army_afeg_special_forces_mh-47es.jpg I tried a bunch of words, but they all involved "seal". 
Thanks, that's the one we were looking for. |

Doesnt the facial hair increase drag thus negating the "High speed, low drag" concept?

I have a friend who is SF in the Stan currently. Goes by Griz. (doubt if you want, i don't care). He said the coolest is letting food stay stuck in a beard for as long as you can take it. Its team bragging rights. He said crusty oatmeal got him those rights after 3 days.

http://osdir.com/ml/recreation.humor.sidesplitters/2006-06/jpgxdmmyWDBnY.jpg In Afghanistan a beard is status type symbol, and a person without one is not going to be treated as an equal. Indig personnel are the SF's specialty, and they probably spend more time amongst the locals than any other military unit, and thus they need the beards to have status and get respect with the Afghans. It also helps when you are fighting with the locals to not stick out like a sore-thumb. A bunch of guys in uniforms with clean cut faces is going to really stand out amongst a group of local fighters. Other country's militarys have more lax standards as far as grooming during combat operations among other things like alcohol in a combat area. |

I grow a full beard at least once a year when the weather gets cooler. Once in a while I'll let it just grow wild. The bottom part, under the chin, isn't much of a problem. But once the moustache area gets so long it covers my bottom lip it is IMPOSSIBLE not to trap everything you eat in there. It does make for a nice snack later when you pull the hair into your mouth and suck out the leftovers. |

I do not beleive the beards are to hide their identity, rather it helps them blend in as most muslim men have facial hair. I think that was a taliban rule that men had facial hair as a sign of faith like women wearing Burkas. |
