A widely regarded Southern symbol of pride and states' rights is standing in the way of would-be Marines in their quest to serve their country – a Confederate battle flag.
Straight out of high school, one 18-year-old Tennessee man was determined to serve his country as a Marine. His friend said he passed the pre-enlistment tests and physical exams and looked forward with excitement to the day he would ship out to boot camp.
But there would be no shouting drill instructors, no rigorous physical training and no action-packed stories for the aspiring Marine to share with his family.- U.S. Marines boot recruits with Confederate tattoos
Well, he did have a Confederate battle flag tattooed on his shoulder. He should count his blessings actually. He is far better off NOT becoming one of the robot warriors of the Imperial Empire.
Of course, such people as this young Tennessee man are not really "Confederates" at all, and you can't honor your heritage by signing up to "serve" under the evil flag that is the symbol of the tyrannical government that crushed Southern independence.
Now how about some real Confederate pride! Don't get a tattoo, join the secession movement!
