U.S. Marines boot recruits with Confederate tattoos
Assholes...

A widely regarded Southern symbol of pride and states' rights is standing in the way of would-be Marines in their quest to serve their country – a Confederate battle flag.
Straight out of high school, one 18-year-old Tennessee man was determined to serve his country as a Marine. His friend said he passed the pre-enlistment tests and physical exams and looked forward with excitement to the day he would ship out to boot camp.
But there would be no shouting drill instructors, no rigorous physical training and no action-packed stories for the aspiring Marine to share with his family.
Your favorate flag, whether it's the Stars and Stripes, the Gadsden, the Navy Jack or another, is at the WND Superstore's flag store!
Shortly before he was scheduled to leave Nashville for boot camp, the Marine Corps rejected him.
Now, the young man, who wishes to remain unnamed and declined to be interviewed, has chosen to return to school and is no longer an aspiring Marine.
"I think he just wants to let it go," said former Marine 1st Lt. Gene Andrews, a friend of the man and patriotic Southerner who served in Vietnam from 1968 through 1971. Andrews is a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans, a group of male descendents of Confederate soldiers. He counseled the young man when he decided to become a Marine.
"He had been talking to me, and he was all fired up about joining," he told WND. "He asked my opinion of it, and I just tried to tell him the truth, good points and bad points."
When the young recruit didn't go to boot camp, Andrews learned of his rejection based on his tattoo of the Confederate battle flag on his shoulder.
You know, I always find it interesting that NO ONE, and I mean no one, ever bitches about the Confederate Flag, only the Confederate Battle Flag. Oh, well what about the KKK? No, they used various symbols for their propaganda - including the American flag, the Cross, "Woman's Right" (abortion was originally only meant to be used to preserve the white race just so you know) and a bunch of other shit as well.
Because really, it's only the Battle Flag. I mean Texas, and I'm sure other states too, have the Confederate Flag at their state capitals - in the case of Texas it's one of our "Six Flags over Texas" along with the Spanish, French, Mexican, Republic of Texas, and American flags.
Yes, the flag is racist... AND that's exactly why there were many Black Confederate Soldiers. Yup, makes perfect sense.
As a Southerner and a cousin of a Marine, this pisses me off.
Shout, Shout, Let it all Out, These are the Things I Can do Without You Shouldn't Have to Jump for Joy, You Shouldn't Have to Shout for Joy
They Give You Life and in Return You Gave 'em Hell As Cold as Ice - No Bitch, You're Ice Ice Baby I Hope We Live to Tell the Tale, I Hope We Live to Shout the Tale
Will You Never Shout? And When You've Taken Down Your Guard... If I Could Change Your Mind, I'd Really Love to Break Your Heart! Come On Let Me Shout Shout Let Me, Come On Let Me Shout Shout!

Well, that explains how we lost...
Honestly, what you said had absolutely nothing to do with anything I stated either.

Re: U.S. Marines boot recruits with Confederate tattoos
