I got my last tattoo when I was 28. Many years later I still have one left that I’d like to get honoring my family’s service. Different people get them for different reasons and you or I don’t get to decide what those reasons are for them. I guess I just don’t live my life giving a shit about what other people think about my own body. If somebody sees my tattoos, which is difficult unless I’m shirtless, and forms an opinion about me without knowing me then that’s their mistake.
Sailors have been getting tattoos before the country was even founded. It’s part of the culture. The military is a brotherhood so it kind of makes sense that we would want tattoos that remind us of the shared connection. Not sure about the fatherless homes comment, I’ve been out for 12 years so maybe something has changed. Though my son is in the Marines now and the way he describes it the demographics sound about the same. Not everybody gets them and that’s ok.
Gotta say you’re ignoring one of the biggest pro tattoo groups. Vets. I was in the Navy and almost everybody I knew had tattoos. Now that I’m out I hang with a few Marines and they all have tats as well. Getting ink was sort of a rite of passage.
The first one definitely seems to be something he kicked from the road. There is a white spot in the road before he moves forward and then it appears in front of his foot. The one where he is against the wall looks like he dropped something.
When people fire off ‘celebration’ rounds they usually are at a high apogee, close to 90 degrees. Meaning they will typically land within a small radius of the person shooting. To reach the speeds needed to penetrate the helicopters’s body the round would have had to be at a lower apogee and thus a purposely aimed shot.
I submitted this; BLM is racist socialist organization. It has been instigating and participating in riots across the country. Leading to billions of dollars in damages and dozens of lives lost. All for a drug addict that died from a Fentanyl induced heart attack.
I spent 5 weeks near Shanghai and from my short experience they were a really friendly people. The party however is not. The people live in fear of being disappeared if they deviate from the narrative. There are whole sections of the city that is for party members only. They are paid next to nothing. Somebody doing my job and working much longer hours makes less than 25% of what I make. A cabby told me it costs upwards of $30k to get a license to drive a cab. They have to take a loan out from the government. They are paid so little it usually takes over a decade to pay back. I think if anything a young Chinese person would see immigrating to almost anywhere else as an opportunity.
Exactly my point. The smaller the target the more likely you will miss. Always aim for center mass. Just below the sternum. Also the bullet doesn’t travel in a straight line. Once it hits flesh it tumbles and changes course. You’re likely to hit something vital in the chest.
I have two friends that lost people in the past several months. I live in GA. One was their son who committed suicide and the other was a father that died after years of dementia. Neither were allowed to have a real funeral. The parents that lost their son couldn’t even see him in the hospital as he clung to life. I’ve never been as angry as I am now. The commies don’t care what they have to do to achieve their goals. They are pure evil.
LOL! ‘Watch your social media posts’ as he posts something guaranteed to produce risky comments. 😂
