The May 18th World Net Daily reports that the Marine Corps has announced that the recruiter had an "unclear understanding of the policy." A Confederate flag tattoo is not an automatic bar to USMC enlistment according to a Corps spokesman.
A potential recruit with the tattoo must get a waver from the regional commanding general. "We're not saying that a Confederate flag tattoo is racist, but it can potentially be. So we call that an "exception-to-policy tattoo."
However, the fact that the flag would even be on the list of racist things shows the success certain groups have had in their crusade to get the Confederate flag entirely removed from the country.
This is why it is so necessary for groups like the SCV and UDC to defend the heritage of the Confederate soldier. I certainly wish that this defense was not so necessary., but let's face it, "We are under an all-out attack."
