Seriously. This is downright tame as far as military tattoos go. A 23 year marine was drunk with his buddies and thought a pirate tattoo would look pretty badass. And honestly? If it weren’t for the Nazi connotations, I would say it is pretty badass.

Right on. James Talarico is the perfect example of what you’re talking about. His image is so sanitized and insipid specifically to appeal to the milquetoast voter.
Controversies like this one only have staying power not because most reasonable people actually think it’s a problem, but because opposing campaigns and political parties astroturf social media and “strategically amplify” the story on mainstream news sources to make it seem that way.
