Trump administration insiders are furious over reporting that the U.S. Coast Guard, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security, will no longer classify the swastika as a symbol of "hate."According to the Washington Post, the branch of military service has decided that swastikas and nooses ...
Platner said that the marines actually rejected his reenlistment for having
death’s headforearm tattoos (even though he says got it while in the marines and that it was a common tattoo for marines to have) so he had to join the army out desperation. He really was determined to go back over there and kill more brown people.But I thought he didn’t know what it was? So he thought they rejected his reenlistement because of a regular skull tattoo?
Sketchy af
He was in the Marines, they aren’t known for being particularly bright outside of maybe the specialists, NCOs, and COs. They ain’t called America’s greatest crayon eaters for nothing, but hey since the 80s or so theyve diversified their eating habits with MRE wrappers and chemical heaters.
I grew up round Vietnam era army mud boots, I will take any opportunity to bash the Marines.
So then he’s not bright enough to serve in Congress. Either he knew, which is bad, or he was too stupid to know, which is also bad.
Would really depend on if he has improved since then, I’m from the opposite side of the county so I don’t have too much horse in this race so I am too ignorant to say if he has improved or not. Youd have to do actual research on him and frankly speaking I don’t give a damn I just want to make haha Marines stupid jokes.
Why is it that if he’s a dumb young 20 he can’t gain any intelligence? Why is the line I keep seeing from people “well he didn’t know at the time, and that’s damning enough”, like, do you know anyone who has ever signed up for the military at 18-25 to bd ‘smart’ or informed?
Can you give a source on that or a general direction on where to look? I’ve heard about the tattoo and looked into it during the initial controversy and did not find that information at the time.
I must’ve misread. He actually says the marines rejected him for having visible tattoos on his arm, not the actual skull tattoo.
If you know about MARADMIN, can you elaborate on what he means? I looked it up and understand it as a kind of code of conduct, but don’t see what changed in 2007, just that he said a USMC based tattoo was what prevented him.
MARADMIN 198/07
Thank you for this. I gave it a good (confusing) read, they could stand to type in less capitals.
I can see the regulations outlined, but not that he was turned away for it being a known nazi symbol or anything based on that description, it sounds like he got a tattoo without clearing it or reporting it on his paperwork and chose not to appeal, based on his words there in the reddit post.
I appreciate you finding that for me, it was hard to parse all the google garbage
Sorry, that’s esoteric military gibberish shit. I have no idea.
Thanks anyway! Yeah military jargon and acronyms out the ass go hand in hand and any manager that’s a vet I’ve worked for just tosses them around like ‘sentence enhancers’.
