Sailors aren't supposed to have tattoos, at least not as Obama imagines the country that elected him El-Presidente-for-Life. Funny how real Americans see that so differently from our Dear Leader. I'm not a fan of body art, but at least I'm pro-choice (when the "choice" doesn't involve murdering a baby).

Could it be they’re making new rules involving make-up because of the gays? This will not go over well with gay men.

I hate tattoos. But a person would be stupid to join the military today. I wonder if they’re going to be told before they sign up that they’ll have to pay to have certain tattoos removed.

Chandler also told troops that the new Army combat uniforms will likely be phased in starting eight to nine months from now.

‘On a separate note, Chandler also told troops that the new Army combat uniforms will likely be phased in starting eight to nine months from now. The uniform will feature different colors for different environments, but the pattern will be very similar to the mottled “multicam” currently used in Afghanistan under the designation “Operation Enduring Freedom Camouflage Pattern.” ‘

Nice! Waiting on my “jungle Multicam”!

Seriously, they need better colors. Multi is really good in arid and semi-arid areas, but I’d put good money on there being a significant amount of action in sub-Saharan Africa in the future, and the scenery in that area isn’t exactly shades of tan.

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

Define "extremist".
