Yes, and a strategic location. China has hinted at making a large manufacturing free zone in Haiti. With a port and large airport. 
Plus we have a lot of investment in the Dominican Republic. 

Iraq II! Taking doomed colonization plans to the Caribbean!

... and obtw, hadn't seen this mentioned, but the anti-beard crusade is clearly aimed at black men, who often get a special dispensation re: shaving due to folliculitis.

And maybe Nordic pagans. Frankly I need this administration to make a call on the whole Valhalla issue.

So, guys who've served.  Shaving in a combatish situation seems like a painful waste of time.  I think of seeing guys in winter conditions shaving with no doubt cold water out of a helmet, and it just makes my face hurt.

Is it anything like McRaven's make your bed everyday?  Because I think that's real.

And about half my GI Joes had beards, along with their life like hair.

We were told it was important to keep a smooth face so our MOPs gear would seal to our faces.

Again, I cannot believe what I am seeing.  The Secretary of Defense just called all of the highest ranking military officers from all over the world to talk about *checks notes* PT and facial hair?  I'm sorry, this has to be a bit.  Nobody can be this stupid, can they?  This is directly from the Idiocracy script.  Mike Judge himself could not have written this any better.

 

The hair and the PT crap was the excuse, not the reason. The reason was so he could cosplay being a manly SecWar, show em who's boss, force them to obey bullshit orders to make himself feel big and tough. 

doTArd was there because everything has to be about him, can't let a toadie get any press without him.

Um, Pete, it appears the Texas National Guard didn't get your fitness memo.

 

God damn those dudes are not chasing anyone down ever. We had some big boys in the Navy but I don't think they were even close to this

If I've learned anything from the movies, it's how are we supposed to tell who is special forces if they aren't allowed to have a beard?

 

Watch better movies. Also, in the field shit is allowed to grow out. But there was a concept mainly in Afghanistan of "blending in" that never worked. 

I know a lot of SF dudes. Father, brother, #1 client were all group or more. All are clean shaven.
