Sorry just realized these are black guardsmen. Black people in the military are allowed facial hair because shaving causes nasty razor bumps to become extremely visible on their skin.
That would be hilarious if they outright said blacks can have beards but whites can’t. The truth is it’s just a medical exemption. Not based on race. Although yes you’re right blacks are more likely to receive that exemption because of genetics.
Well yeah they call it a medical exemption but it's more along the lines of the military doesn't want to see the razor bumps blah blah. One of my friends is an Army recruiter, it's crazy the shit he comes up with.

As for the woman covering her face, no idea.

Would the beards be required to be very short under those circumstances?
They are still required to be trimmed, but they don't need to be clean-shaven.
