He described the tattoo in vanity fair magazine today.

The acronym is dubious. It is a real subgroup of the Appalachian Mountain Club, but their records only show that the group called itself TFC. It's a hiking group.
edit He's listed on their website as a 2002 and 2003 member.

I wasn't expecting an actual explanation that wasn't "he's a fucking Nazi" but damn you hit me with the facts smh
I do think Graham is lying about not knowing what a Totenkopf is. Yesterday, I created a post about him defending SS bolts tattoos in his deleted reddit comments. https://hexbear.net/post/6500448?scrollToComments=false
The 1919 being the establishment year of a hiking group that he was actually a member of seems more like a coincidence. It seems like a red herring. I'm clarifying the information so that people stay on point. He had a totenkopf tattoo and he has reddit posts defending Nazi tattoos. Also he served 4 tours in Iraq and Aghanistan and worked for Blackwater. He's very likely committed war crimes.
Graham knows what Nazi tattoos are and he admitted in reddit posts that a lot of his US military buddies had Nazi tattoos. I feel like Graham is the type of dude who would have got actual SS bolts rather than the number 1919, if he wanted that symbology. He had a totenkopf. He's either openly a nazi or not smart enough to do cryptosymbolism.
I don't think people should overlook the fact that he had a totenkopf tattoo, even though he covered it up.
He had committed war crimes the Iraq war was illegal as fuck
