Debates about pipeline expansion often ignore these realities. But make no mistake, transporting oil and gas by rail has been booming in the absence of new pipelines. According to the Energy Information Administration, annual exports of oil by rail to the United States in 2010 amounted to a measly 42,000 barrels of oil. Fast forward five years to 2014 and that number has spiked to 42 million barrels of oil. These numbers will continue to rise if new pipelines are not built.

Biden administration just changed the  rules to allow females in the military to wear braids or ponytails, and earrings, but not men.

So maybe they still recognize two genders.

My stepbrother, the snake eater, liked training with the Scandinavians because they allowed long hair. When training hand to hand, it was easy to grab handfuls of hair so their chins met his knee. :whistling:

My Marine company was part of a big multi nation, multi force exercise in Puerto Rico in the late 80s. A lot of our guys had Mexican roots and spoke fluent Spanish. Our CO put them on Modified Grooming Standards for up to a year. It was weird seeing infantry Marines with long hair and beards. 
 

We got them jobs at restaurants and hotels in San Juan. Their only job was to gather information. Officers ran their mouths around long haired Mexican waiters. Oops.

Really...that's ****** sad.  But...at least mercys dad got a raise to drive his train and transport the oil.

AND of course..it's SO much cheaper to load it on and off Railroad cars...rather than just let it run thru a pipeline...CONTINUOUSLY...
