Good. They were good enough to die in Iraq and Afghanistan, but now they’re not good enough for a commission? I don’t think so.

Being a Christian never was, nor is it now, a requirement for military service. From my standpoint, based on the Bible, tatoos are something God has said "Do NOT do."

I think He made Himself pretty clear. I subscribe to the "leaky boat theory." We cannot puncture just one hole in the boat, and expect all to be well. Military members can have tatoos - as they have in this country for generations. It was NEVER a good idea. Ever. On top of that, we are now far beyond the seaman who had one or two on his upper arm. Today, we have facial tatoos, and also tatoos in every part of the anatomy. Where is the line? You tell me? How about up to the eye lids? No? How about up to the forehead? No....still too much? Why? Where is the limit?

I am not a 100% sinless individual. There is much that I have to account for, and I end up messing up and going back to my Savior for forgiveness. I wanted to say that because I don't want to be a hypocrite.

This will not be solved here. Once you let just "a little" evil in, it takes a mile.
