I wonder if Barry's military will allow this.

Under the new policy, new recruits will not be allowed to have tattoos that show below the elbows and knees or above the neckline, Chandler told troops. Current soldiers may be grandfathered in, but all soldiers will still be barred from having any tattoos that are racist, sexist or extremist.

Below the elbows will be the tough one.

[Joe Boucher]

I do not have nor care for tattoos but this too is horse crap there America

[a fool in paradise]

all soldiers will still be barred from having any tattoos that are racist, sexist or extremist.

I suspect that this is "extremist" and "imperialist" by today's wussified standards. "It might offend our Islamist opponents!"

[SandRat]

Will a Star of David, or a Crucifix tattoo, on the shoulder be wrong under the new rules?

[Navy Patriot]

Wow, we can look fab and swish when we march.

[Gay State Conservative]

Rumor has it the Osama Obama has a tattoo of Che's likeness in an area that only his doctor and his boyfriends have ever seen.

[MeshugeMikey]

Rumor has it that barry insists that Each Soldier will be required to get at least one Gay Freindly Tattoo /s

"Why is everybody always picking on me"?

Media reports last year identified potential changes to rules governing things such make-up and fingernail polish...

I was at a subway restaurant a week or so ago and saw a pregnant soldier in uniform. Did you ever have one of those moments when you feel like the whole world changed while you weren't paying attention?

[workerbee]

Thank goodness, no tattoos! So glad the Army has its priorities ... uh... "straight."

[Pearls Before Swine]

Will there a policy on certain, uh, intimate piercings?

[greene66]

I suppose I should be glad to hear of some tightening tattoo restrictions, clamping down on the whole raggedy, prison-gang thug look, which is so counter to the kind of adult appearance and comportment I always tended to associate with the services. But, since the whole faggotization of the military, I just can’t seem to particularly give a damn anymore, regarding anything to do with the services.

[PAR35]

Rainbow and Lambda tattoos permitted, but crosses will be banned.

[Future Snake Eater]

They threw the standards wide freakin’ open when they were desperate for people, now they’re telling them “thanks anyway.”

The hypocrisy here is borderline ridiculous.

[apillar]

So does that mean if there is ever another draft, all the dodgers have to do is run out and get a racist or sexist tattoo? Gee that’s sure a lot easier than fleeing to Canada....

[Timber Rattler]

The Army is bankrupt, broken, and hollowed out, and they’re worried about tattoos.

[Flavious_Maximus]

“The uniform will feature different colors for different environments ...”

Like that Navy commercial where you see five sailors (two female and three male) wearing different color fatigues so that together it resembles the gay rainbow flag. Truly disgusting.

I have a good friend who is a retired SpecFor operator. Inked to the max. Mostly tributes to fallen comrads. Has his 1000 yard ticket punched (as in can snipe out to 1000 yards). While I am not unskilled in hand-to-hand and bladed combat, he would take me apart (not that he ever would - actually a very gentle person unless give cause). With one arm tied behind his back. And one leg. And blindfolded. Not kidding.

Apparently, though, he wouldn’t be good enough for Obama’s army.

Wow this nation is screwed up...
