“The governor signed SB215 into law to protect the freedom of people of all faiths to exercise their sincerely held religious beliefs,” a spokesperson for the Governor’s Office told the Helena Independent Record in a statement. “Montana joins 21 other states with RFRA laws, where it has historically been used to allow Native American children to wear braids in school, Sikhs to wear turbans in the military, and Christian employers to refuse to cover abortions under their health insurance policies ”
Sikhs sometimes have a "be ready to fight to protect" mentality due to their people's history. Its why many will carry a small symbolic knife on them to signify a kind of "ready to protect ourselves" type thing. Not all Sikhs will do this though, as not all wear the turban.
So some feel a kind of misplaced duty towards the armed forces. I'm sure someone else can explain this better than me.
One of these is not like the others
