WASHINGTON — New Sgt. Maj. of the Army Daniel A. Dailey has moved quickly to establish himself, publishing what sources call "an objective and balanced" policy letter prohibiting the use of prostheses, as well as some previously-common Army equipment, due to their non-compliance with Army Regulation (AR) 670-1, “Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia.”
“You can never take away from a regulation, but you can always add to it,” Dailey told media during a press conference at the Pentagon. "We can't have soldiers running around here with a sense of entitlement and their 'special' arms and legs."
"Plus, those hook hands really creep me out," he said while pantomiming pincers with his fingers.
