Your ‘constitutional rights’ are limited under the military. There is no good reason why a mustache couldn’t go past the corner of your mouth in the military, but those are the rules.

Further, this rule applies to FUTURE promotions. The guy is not being demoted for the tattoos he has...but yeah, lots of tattoos can limit your upward mobility, even in the civilian world.

Heck, try getting a tattoo with the “N” word on your arm and owning an NBA team at the same time...

Then there is no Constitution — you see, the Constitution is about limiting the government, not granting rights.

If those were the rules you agreed to under your enlistment, then it's a matter of you violating your contract, no?

Granted.

Nachos?
What do they have against cheese-covered chips?
