I would tell her that I will agree to a stripe of duct tape, when she dons a burka.

“...when I am in America I expect equality and toleration...”

As a Vet myself, I say, ‘Good Luck with that.’

YOYO. (You’re On Your Own.) We all are. It’s a Whole New World out there.

According to the left(Democrats, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, CNN, PBS) most US soldiers are baby killers and need to to be tried as war criminals. That’s a fact jack.

I came into the military back in the late 70’s...when tattoos were still mostly a Navy thing, and kinda rare. By the late 1990s...there was some mad rush by all the enlisted to have umpteen different tattoos on their body. I had some female airman who wanted to explain the significance of twelve different tattoos on herself. I stopped her at number one and just made it clear....I frankly....don’t care. My entire generation got around pretty effortlessly without the necessity of expressing myself with skin-art or skin-words. Not to slam any of the tattoos or their believers....but it’s become like some boy scout game with merit badges.

I had the pleasure of walking through some grocery store about four years ago, and having some lady standing there in line with fairly obscene tattoo....very distinctive in terms of body detail...and having no issue in walking around in public with this on her back. She clearly wanted it to be seen. I guess it’s all personal taste or the desire to take things to the limit...but frankly, I’m just not buying into this business.

Coincidentally there are soldiers from the country of Qatar being trained there.

They are worth more money to the school than this one guy.

This is the real world he could not wear a muslims suck tattoo in a major corporation either.

Actually, I had a hard time getting into the incident because I was stunned by this comment”

“Coincidentally there are soldiers from the country of Qatar being trained there.”

We need to bring people from half way around the world to Florida learn how to skydive? For that matter, what EXACTLY do we need to bring them here to train for anyway? And who the hell is paying for all this?

Never mind, I can guess.

Qatar is a major oil and natural gas exporter, and has the highest GDP per capita in the world. Its government pays the bills and sets the editorial tone for al Jazeera.

Since when have vets become such whiners? He needs to suck it up, move on, and stop blogging about his hurt feelings.

A sanscrit word of defiance that has nothing toi do with being American just doesn't make sense

Whatever happened to girls' names, or MOM, or hearts and dragons ?

Don’t let them bully you. Together, we are a huge multitude. ‘When they came for the guys with ‘Kafir’ tattoos, I didn’t do anything because I did not have one.’

And you are free to take your business elsewhere. As well as everyone else.

That's actually the idea behind complaining on Facebook. To get that company to the point where it's 100% dependent on Qatari business, because no self-respecting American will do business with it.

I sent my email indicating she should have told the Moslem there is freedom of speech in the US.

I didn’t know you are a veteran, Diana. Me too, albeit JAG when there were no wars, so I don’t brag about it.
