I think it has something to do with the mix of freedom and strength a beard usually implies visually vs the more "properly distinguished" and formal look a clean shave gives off. you see a low cut and a clean shave that usually means character is usually disiplined and uniformed, under someone else's authority, where as a beard usually implies some kind of wisedome or being world-weary, like they've been through some shit and they're above or removed from anyone's authority.

Love the new haircut for John. Nice to see him get something other than a crew cut
I like the new uniform as well. Makes them look like swashbucklers. Curious to see where the plot will go though. Something must happen to John and the rest for Jo to end up being the last GL. The GLC always ends up dying sometime before the Legion’s time, wonder if we’re getting that story here...
scenes like these make me roll my eyes so hard I can see my spine contort from how intensely I'm cringing. I've started noticing when writers throw in this kinda mild military jargon for soldier/ex-soldiers and starting to realize how clumsy that is. like we don't have much personality for you beyond your military experience so just throw out army jargon and mention how your a soldier a few more times, will ya. it's a small thing, but still, it's becoming predictably awkward reoccurrence.
