I can grow a beard thanks to the slav in me I choose not to.

To rest my case, can you grow a beard in the military? No, and only real men join the military. Beards are for hippies, communists, and catamites.*

* why catamite you ask? Well when you throw down a statement like that you gotta throw words like that around.

As well a list of greats with no facial hair.
John wayne
Alexander the great
Julius caesar
Winston churchill
George washington
Nelson mandela
Ghandi

And of course........ ronald reagan

People who did have facial hair
Hitler
Stalin
Fidel castro
Lenin
Rasputin
Not john wayne

I rest my case
