so let me get this right.

a good kid cannot join because he has a battle flag tattoo but homosexuals can join and even if they chain themselves to the white house railings they still do not get thrown pout

Now that is one messed up situation plus if I was that kid I would do what the left does and sue the marine corp, yes bbozo is is corp not corpse

the far left have been infiltrating the military, church and family groups for years knowing that is where they have to destroy

My SCV had a dinner and had a kid just come back form his 2nd tour of Afghanistan and he had the battle flag flying over there from his chopper

seems this SGT might be the one wiht the problem and not the marine crop

I would be skeptical of this yarn - after all you must consider the source. But if it were that important why not just modify the tattoo into a Mississippi state flag?

According to Marine Corps policy regarding tattoos.

Marines are prohibited from:

a. Tattoos or brands on the head and neck.

b. Sleeve Tatoos. A sleeve tattoo is a very large tattoo, or a collection of smaller tattoos, that covers or almost covers a person's entire arm or leg.

c. Half-sleeve or quarter sleeve tattoos that are visible to the eye when wearing standard PT Gear (T-shirt and shorts). A half-sleeve or quarter-sleeve tattoo is defined as a very large tattoo or collection of smaller tattoos that covers, or almost covers the entire portion of an army or leg above or below the elbow or knee.

d. Tattoos or brands that are prejudicial to good order, discipline and morale, or are of a nature to bring discredit upon the Marine Corps. These may include, but are not limited to, any tattoo that is sexist, racist, vulgar, anti-american, anti-social, gang related, or extremest group or organization related.

Paragraph (d) is pretty broad and if left to the discretion of the individual in charge then I could see the confederate flag included under the anti-American prohibition or the hate-group prohibition since the Klan links itself with it so frequently. But for the most part, if someone's stupid enough to get a tattoo then just because they chose the rebel flag shouldn't be a reason to keep them from joining the Yankee Marine Corps.
