Three prospective Sikh Marine recruits have made an emergency appeal in the US federal court that they are allowed to attend the basic training of the elite forces without having to remove their religiously mandated uncut hair, beards, and turbans, according to media reports. The Marines have said that the enforcement of the Corps' rules is necessary to maintain uniformity for the national interest.
