Wow....how does any of this have to do with Marine policy regarding tattooing? You guys have gone way off base.:laugh:

I've never even been on a marine base, anyway.

...For me, the Confederate flag is not a symbol of racism, but of divisiveness......

I can certainly see where it could be divisive, more so today than a couple decades ago. IMO, he must be confident in his ability to handle himself in a fight or just not aware of the potential conflicts with some of his future comrades in arms this could generate.

I scanned the article, does it say where on his body the tattoo was located?

....never mind...

"....the Confederate battle flag on his shoulder."

The native Americans are an indigenous people, and have a legitimate separation, as long as they remember they are still Americans. They were, in essence, annexed by the U.S.

People need to learn to get past the propaganda. They all migrated here from somewhere else. For instance the Navajo's came down from Canada. They also were nomads and had no specific area to call home. In fact much of the time they lived in Mexico as much as here. None of the tribes had any claim to boundaried off areas and all of them came from somewhere else.

The article states that the tat is on the shoulder and that the policy is that any tat that can be taken as offensive or racist will disqualify them.

So what happens if a newby comes into the unit, with a tattoo, that I don't like - will they discharge him?

To me ANY tattoo on a female is offensive to me.

Now what.
