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...
“Apparently, though, he wouldn’t be good enough for Obama’s army.”
This HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH “OBAMA’S ARMY.” It is about proper order, discipline, and appearance.
I have watched this tattoo nonsense get way too out of control in Army since 2005. It is about time someone, Command Sergeant Major Chandler (God Bless him), did something about it. I am SICK of seeing young soldiers every day destroying themselves permanently with a lot of “pagan” ink. Tatoos are for backwoods cheap trailer trash and low lifes...it doesn’t belong in a professional army.
If it was just an occasional tattoo on an upper arm...not problem...but it is almost an obsession with some....and needs to stop.
IF those here want to call it “nanny state”....then stay away from the military. We need folks that will comply with uniform standards of appearance....to include limited to no tattoos.
