Interesting. Now all he has to do is endure all the awkward looks on people's faces and the occasional verbal assault.

I do wonder how a helmet is going over his turban.
Since he's not allowed to take it off and all..

I dont get how this is worth knowing
maybe if the person was muslim or something and there hadn't been a muslim in the military for 30 years, it might have been interesting. but its just a random Indian guy joining the military, so what?

This.
Sounds like another one of those dumb stereotypes that all Middle Eastern looking and turban wearing people are Muslims and should be reported on the news.
