First of all- I am a pacifist, but, [Yeow!](http://weekendamerica.publicradio.org/standard/display/slideshow.php?ftrv_id=60351&slide=1) It’s from a story on NPR’s Weekend America about gender roles in the military. You never know what the payoff from listening will be. 😃 ---

That’s got to be one of the ugliest tattoos I’ve ever seen. ---

[/QUOTE] Tacky, maybe, but it seems to be a good rendering of what she wanted. > [@Gatopescado](#): > > Is this a joke thread? If someone starts making jokes, I guess it could be. I was half listening, and after the piece, the host mentioned her tattoo, so I went online to check it out. And thought I’d share. Then, they turned to sexual assualt. Which is why I said > [@](#): > > You never know what the payoff from listening will be. My payoff was a pic that was strangely hot, imho. YMMV. ---

Yes friends, who could ever have guessed that the great equalizer between men and women would be the belief in deadly force? If _that’s_ American Woman, I’m packing up and heading for Canada. ---

[QUOTE=Freudian Slit] I thought service men and women weren’t permitted to have tattoos. [/QUOTE] It varies by branch but I believe that at this point in time the standard is no tattoos that are visible when wearing the service uniform properly (Meaning no entry with them, and no adding them once you’re in; but long-termers who got tattoos before the rule was established were grandfathered in IIRC). There may also be some absolute ban for some specific kinds of tattoo (e.g. gang-linked) but _that_ I’m not sure about. ---

The tattoo would have been way better with much more detail in the revolvers and flags. Also, bullets don’t fly through the air with the shell casing still attached to them. Hasn’t this women ever seen an actual bullet? ---

Tat’s okay, but what I really want to know is, what body part are we looking at, her abdomen? Seems like it. If so, doesn’t she seem a little mushy for someone in Armed Services? ---

No, I would not say so. In the other image you can tell she’s obviously very small-framed. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/hottie-vet-women-troops-in-iraq/433322.md?page=2)
