Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

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.
PTB always has the worst take , and is probably whataboutism type of account.
