US Maarine Corp bans tats

Rat a tat tat

The US marine corp has banned marines getting large tattoos.

The US marine corp bans tattoos

The US marine corp has banned marines getting large tattoos. The ban is aimed primarily at sleeve; tattoos, the large and often elaborate designs on the biceps and forearms of many Marines. Similar designs on the lower legs will be forbidden as well. So will very large tattoos on the upper arm, if they are visible when a Marine wears his workout T-shirt. Small, individual tattoos will still be allowed on the arms and legs. (The Marines already ban them on the hands.)

When questioned one marine said "This is ridiculous. NOT COOL. NOT COOL AT ALL...what is the number to the army again? psh... forget this crap.." as he went off muttering into the distance

Marines already tattooed are exempt from the ban but cannot add to their designs; anyone caught with fresh ink in the wrong places could be barred from re-enlistment or face disciplinary action. Getting a prohibited tattoo could constitute a violation of a lawful order, punishable by up to two years in prison and a dishonorable discharge, Marine spokesman 1st Lt. Brian Donnolly said.
Unit commanders must photograph and document sleeve tattoos to ensure Marines do not add to their ink.

"This is something I love to do" said Cpl. David Nadrchal, 20, of Ponoma, who made an appointment to get an Iraqi flag and his deployment dates etched onto his lower leg. "The fact I can't put something on my body that I want - it's a big thing to tell me I can't do that." Nadrchal said he is unsure whether he will re-enlist: "There's all these little things. They are slowly chipping away at us."

"Bit by bit these people are turning the corps into a joke. A joke that I dont think is very funny." Said another nervously biting the heads off small animals.

Now, is this an erosion of the basic rights of these marines by not allowing them to express themselves by tattooing such things as "Im a gonna kill yew" on their forearm or having a large smurf painted on their inner thigh or is it a desperate act to take away a way of identifying individual marines in the criminal and abhorrent abuse of prisoners and the Iraqi people. Me thinks it do be the latter.

The reason the Marines are being ordered to abandon tattoos is because of the famous logo tattooed on both arms, "Killing Is Our Business ....... and Business Is Good".

Propaganda Office/ The office of Global Communication directions want the Marines to leave their more distasteful and truthful slogans in the past.

http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Office_of_Gl...tions

Killing is their business and in Iraq their business is indeed going well but after Michael Moores "Farenheit 9/11" were the moronic Marine sang the song "Let the Muthafukaas burn" song about burning innocent Iraqi civilians, the soundings globally showed such attitudes from the bringers of "Freedom and Democracy" should be tweeked, espeically with a view to keeping it from the public.

Just more US propaganda. Imagine using military personell for propaganda? I'm astonished!
