“Society is changing its view of tattoos and we have to change along with that.Well, General, "society" is also changing their views on homosexuality, does that mean...oh never mind.
Just more changing of traditions by the corrupt, America hating obama Regime.

I’m not complaining specifically about tats, but more about the Military bending to the whims of Society.

Neither does hair length. Neither does making a bed. Neither does the uniform. Neither does saluting. Hey, why bother with silly standards.

You have to wonder why some people insist on having an extreme appareance by having tattoos. Some employers will not hire people with visible tattoos.

They think the visual effect makes them more fearful to the enemy.
A monumental waste of money, very permanent and shows immaturity.
