Marines refuse teen's enlistment because of Confederate flag tatoo

Yeah, as if white southerners don't basically have a monopoly on southern pride other than SEC pride..
Well, that just goes to show you... it means nothing to me. It's a piece of cloth. Pieces of cloth don't really make me afraid. Well, maybe if the cloth is fairly big, and heavy, and covered in gasoline, and thrown on me, and I'm near a fire.
I wonder if any current Marine has the battle flag? Should they be booted as well? Also, I'm curious if any Marine has a tattoo flag of Mexico, UK, Germany, France, Japan, Spain, Italy, etc. We've been at war with a bunch of countries and non-countries. Seems pretty stupid to turn away a volunteer with the way we use our military.
Amen to that! Pretty stupid is being polite. I don't care if he had a tattoo of the US Flag on fire, or a banner saying "F*CK THE USA"... if he wants to be a marine, he'll get vetted at Parris Island.
It doesn't seem stupid to me, the military should be getting smaller.. Not larger or are you a wacky liberal who wants a huge government and crazy spending?!
You don't get smaller by turning away volunteers. We're always going to need privates.
Volunteers get paid... or does a private replace a older more expensive sergeant like in the private sector?
Sort of. When the military was doing RIFs back in the 90s, they were offering people money to retire early, and not accepting some reenlistments, but they were still enlisting recruits.
LOL. Psssst.... the military isn't made up of choir boys. I'm fine with trimming the military budget but this reasoning is beyond stupid.
Since I'm not paging through every post to see if anyone answered you, here is what they've been wearing since the mid 1980's.
More pictures of traitors - do we leave them there or bring them home?
If our government wasn't made-up of empire-building warmongers, those guys would be at their National Guard posts in MISSISSIPPI! Not, Iraq.
Damn Marine Corps.......making people accountable. As my favorite comedian Ron White says...."you can't fix stupid."
Lol worthy? You have a strange sense of humor. No, the military isn't made up of choir boys, but if it's slimming down, take the best of the best, not the ones who tattoo controversial flags on their bodies.
Can they have controversial words as tattoos? If you were a recruiter and the kid had "Fuk Da Police" on their chest, would you DQ that potential recruit?
Semper Fi. Life has consequences, kid. You can't be faithful to the Confederacy and the USMC at the same time. I do enjoy the isolated pictures from over the years of service members showing a Confederate flag. An individuals actions do not represent an organizational directive, but, keep flailing away.
Yes, but the Nazi symbol is turned clockwise as well as balancing on the tip of the lower "arm." It is easy to see which is the Nazi one.
Were you enjoying the pictures so much that you totally missed the fact that your first statement is made false by the pictures?
Hell, even my 6-year old niece knows that. Counter-clockwise swastika= cool as a pool, Clockwise swastika= hates everyone not white. That's grade 1 stuff.
