When did I say I was an authority or that you couldn't vote for him?
Yes people with nazi adjacent tattos exist in the army. The people who do the examinations can be nazi adjacent too and then those type of people fall through the cracks. Also you aren't really inspected on tattoos after your initial examination (at least when I was in the service). I mean, Hegseth has an iron cross and he's been in the military for a while too.
If you're trying to imply I'm not from Maine or didn't spend time in the military then you're mistaken. Not everyone online is a bot or shill.
Yes, that sure is how it works in the army. Everyone who's tasked with some responsibility just kind of lets things slide based on their personal feelings or allegiances, and no one notices later "hey this guy has a Nazi tattoo even though Frank was supposed to inspect him" or asks "so what the fuck is up with THAT" or follows up on it.
Yes, you're definitely not inspected yearly for tattoos on any particular system. They're generally pretty lax about that stuff, as is well known, it's just kind of a free-for-all.
My apologies Corporal
In the time frame we are talking about (early 2000s) he wouldn't have been inspected yearly. I had nipple rings for fucks sake. You think someone would have said something about them if I was inspected yearly? Absolutely. But I wasn't inspected except for the initial exam.
You sound like someone who is mad that they don't know anything so they spout sarcastic comments to try and feel good about themselves.
Be better.
You had nipple rings the whole time you were in, and they were prohibited in your branch of service, and you just got away with it because... just no one in authority noticed or something?
I've never been in the military but I've known a bunch of people who were, and you are one thousand per cent full of shit.
Ok I'm done with this conversation. I feel like even if I told you my MOS and deployment schedules you'd still ask for more info so kindly piss off.
Go find someone else to question their life experience.
