I like this photo to be honest.
Might not care for the act of war (though there’s really no escaping it is there?) and the tattoo isn’t the most amazing piece of work I’ve ever seen.
But this photo, it really has some depth to it.

i am active duty in the navy. he seems to be either auxillary security force, or possibly a master at arms. its hard to tell without seeing more of his uniform. either way though, i think it’s pretty unfair to be making assumptions about people in military. it’s kind’ve the opposite of what this website is about actually. i mean, when i walk down the street in my uniform, i get either spit on, or thanked. and when i walk down the street with my tattoos showing, i either get shunned or curious questions. what i’m trying to get at is, don’t judge a book by its cover….anyone remember that? and just because someone has different beliefs than you or views about things, doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re wrong.

I don’t see what the problem is with someone stating that they are deadly. It doesn’t mean they killed anyone, or are planning to. Just means they have the capacity, which everyone should have. There are a lot of people on IAM that have killed that most people here would consider celebrities. Doesn’t mean they are bad people, just that someone fucked with the wrong person.

fair enough, he’s in the navy (or military, or any occupation where firearms and violence are a necessary evil.) but the fact that he has that tattoo almost implies he’s proud to be killing and sort of sees his place in the navy as a choice for a violent outlet, and definately not the pay etc. as people have stated earlier even if that is a contributing factor. it’s not so much the fact that he has the tattoo (i agree with cucuy, everyone has the capacity to be deadly) but this guy wants to immortalise all the wrong reasons of being in the armed forces in ink. there is so much scope for an inspirational tattoo, or memorial of those who’ve given their lives to a ‘greater good’. i’m not for war, never have been, never will be, but i don’t think that falters my judgement that this is a dumb and purposfully controversial tattoo. no one should be proud of their role as a killer, whether it’s their occupation or not.

I like posts like this because it sparks very interesting comments from people on both sides. It just disappoints me that some people have such rude and hateful things to say.

The thing is, if you talk to people in the military.
They joined of their own free will to fight and kill in order to protect a country they believe in.. be it right or wrong in peoples eyes we in this current age do have to have a military to protect us from potential harm.
I personally feel that a soldier should be proud of who he or she is and if their occupation is killing which for so many it is.
Then so be it.
Maybe this man is a supreme marksman and proud.
How many people have you seen that are professionals with a tattoo that boasts their expertise?
The only thing I question is that in the military they DO NOT allow tattoo’s on the wrist, hands, or face…
On the other hand if it is for real and on a soldier that is proud then I think it’s pretty awesome.
I don’t support this war, however I do support the troupes and I am thankful that they’re brave enough to risk their lives for something they believe in.

stormchaser,
I’m in Canada. Although playing with guns, ie. pointing them at people for a joke or whatnot is considered very unproffesional and will get you in a lot of trouble, taking pictures with them is normal and encouraged. Just seems like different mores for photos.

John Cornwell’s “Hitler’s Scientists: Science, War, and the Devil’s Pact” only describes a small subset of the academics, scientists, and engineers throughout the world who have aided their countries’ respective military machines. Willingly. Any book on the Manhattan Project (as had already been mentioned) would serve to describe another such subset.

Snap dragon – in the US military you can get tattooed anywhere but your hands, face or neck. In the Air Force you can have up to 25% of the “exposed” body part tattooed (arms, legs, chest). The Navy and the Marines have more strict regulations now, I don’t know what the Army’s regs are.
