Teen told he can't join the marines because of his Confederate Flag tatoo

The rag of treason and racism is a disgrace.
If he really wants to serve in our country, the USA, he can have that disgusting tattoo removed .

I would never hire someone who had the kind of bad judgement, he had to have, to get that put on himself.

did it hurt when you fell to your knees and prostrated yourself in front of the US government, swearing your fealty to tyranny?
 
You do release he would have to serve with black people, right? I'm sure that wouldn't cause any issues.

real marines see one color only......olive green. it may be different shades of olive green, but it's all olive green. anyone who sees differently than that is not a real marine.
 
The seeds of the move to secession by South Carolina were sown during the Nullification Crisis thirty years earlier.

They were actually sown with the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions which Madison and Jefferson authored to protest the Sedition Act under Adams. Without those documents, it is unlikely that the Nullification Crisis ever would have occurred, although secession may still have come about as a political movement.

The tenth amendment gives states the power to nullify federal laws. The constitution does not grant the scotus such authority. Th e scotus simply grabbed the power for itself and it's time the states pointed that out. THINK

Nullification is completely indefensible. While secession might be plausible, and can be debated, it is obviously unconstitutional and illogical for a state still participating in the union to arbitrarily pick-and-choose which laws it will decide to follow or enforce.

Nothing unconstitutional about it.
 
I personally think that its pretty sad and disappointing. He wants to voluntarily serve this country and be a part of something that protects all of us from harm but was turned away because of an ignorant fear based on an assumption of whats in his heart. He wants to fight for and protect the United States and is also proud of his southern heritage. That's not a reason to turn someone away in my opinion.

So would you allow the enlistment of a person with a Persian battleflag tattoo if it was his heritage?
You do understand that the same corps he wants to enlist in fought to the death against that flag,
and that the rest of the country still considers it a traitorous symbol right?
I mean to me it is no better than a swastika.
 
That flag is a battle flag. A battle AGAINST the United States of America. Some idiots are still trying to fight that war.
