In the interest of smashing 'zero tolerance' ideals to bits, it would seem worthy to weigh intent and context...
In the interest of being objective, it would be worth the time and effort to know the 'why' behind the regulation...

I speak as one of the few men of my family who have not served in the military.
That being my reality, I do assume there is a standard of display when the families that have endured the military life alongside the soldier are asked to represent at such an occasion.
