Hair is an extension of the nervous system - Why Indians keep their hair long

[Raggedyann]

This information about hair has been hidden from the public since the Viet Nam War.

Our culture leads people to believe that hair style is a matter of personal preference, that hair style is a matter of fashion and/or convenience, and that how people wear their hair is simply a cosmetic issue. Back in the Viet Nam war however, an entirely different picture emerged, one that has been carefully covered up and hidden from public view.

In the early nineties, Sally [name changed to protect privacy] was married to a licensed psychologist who worked at a VA Medical hospital. He worked with combat veterans with PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder. Most of them had served in Viet Nam.

Sally said, “I remember clearly an evening when my husband came back to our apartment on Doctor’s Circle carrying a thick official looking folder in his hands. Inside were hundreds of pages of certain studies commissioned by the government. He was in shock from the contents. What he read in those documents completely changed his life. From that moment on my conservative middle of the road husband grew his hair and beard and never cut them again. What is more, the VA Medical center let him do it, and other very conservative men in the staff followed his example. As I read the documents, I learned why.

Thanks Raggedyann, I was not aware of this long hair report that reads like a real military study. Most of the low count # of comments are not positive it seems. There are always skeptics lurking about as well as believers!

It was a good read but cutting their long hair after studies, just to keep the experiment on going was odd. One would think they'd be needed in combat back then. In one long past very questionable US government intervention overseas.

Seems odd that cops and the military insist on having short, short hair. We are determined to go against our instincts and nature as a whole.

Supposedly because it keeps an assailant from using it as a grip in a fight. So I was told by a military friend who I nicknamed 8-ball for obvious reasons.

Yep, that makes sense.
