ICE goon cowards all want to look like genuine SEAL Team badasses. Special operations personnel are allowed to grow full, thick neckbeards when deployed in combat zones, so they can blend in with local populations and build rapport with tribal leaders. I'm seeing this neckbeard fashion statement everywhere these days, typically it's a MAGA manosphere imbecile wearing a ball cap, camouflge cargo pants and driving a lifted truck.
