Service members took to social media to express frustration this week after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordered stricter grooming and fitness standards for the U.S. military.
Many troops argued online that the policy would unfairly target those with medical or religious waivers, as well as people of color.
What service members are saying onlineSocial media quickly filled with posts from current and former service members questioning the rules.
But it says that service members granted waivers must then participate in a medical treatment plan.
Some noted that service members with medical or faith-based exemptions already met demanding standards, yet now face dismissal.
