This is, for the record, complete bullshit. The vast majority of soldiers love the new grooming standards. They are absolutely psyched to be allowed to have longer hair and beards. And if you show any US soldier a video of Canadian infantry their first reaction is always "Holy shit, I wish we could have beards." The only people mad about this are a tiny subset of crusty old warrants who just hate anything that isn't "How it was in my day." These are the same people that think Canada should go back to using the C1. No one takes them seriously.
Of course, what they actually mean when they say "ending wokeness" is kicking my wife out of the army because she's trans, despite the fact that she's a better soldier than 90% of the people in her company (she was the literally the best shot in her entire platoon in DP-1, and got praised endlessly by her instructors in every single subject).
