Which of his tattoos is that?

(Not being argumentative; genuinely curious.  I have seen explanations for a lot of his ink, but don't recall anything about a unit tattoo.  I certainly respect your knowledge on this type of thing)

Document that. I won't acknowledge it unless it meets with my approval.

So those are documented facts?

I just thought you would have a better point of view.   Too bad you don’t.  

as far as documented facts.  Have any of those or is there just innuendo and rumors?

In case anyone hasn't figured out the point I was trying to make...

The entire schtick of "show me proof" as a response to a post is getting tiresome.

This is a community of somewhat like-minded wrestling fans.
We can share ideas, comments, perspectives, and everything else.
As much as we disagree on some things, we largely agree on many more things.
I like it here, and I mostly enjoy the community.

It isn't a court of law. Posts don't require links to "proof." Demanding "proof" of fellow posters is silly.

If you need more information, maybe it would be best to try to honestly use google first before politely asking other posters for assistance. That route is so much better than demanding others use google for you.

Just a thought - in the interest of civil conversation (which is why we're all here - last time I checked.)

Hey Russian Troll Bot, I was asking a veteran a legit question about a tattoo dealing with a military unit.  I was not addressing you.  Go back to the troll farm.

My last post was nothing about you. It was far bigger than you.

Whatever your problem is - pay attention, and move it along, dummy.

Actually you quoted me to attempt to advance your idiocy

[red viking]

Looks like the MAGA mob will win on this one, with their various threats and dark money power. 

We get to gave a winger alcoholic abuser talk show host running the pentagon. What can possibly go wrong?

Now you're bickering about which quote was about which quote.

This whole situation is very sad. This joke of a human being isn't qualified to run a kindergarten class, much less the Pentagon. Tons of dark money and threats of running people against and/or cutting off political donations to those that oppose this hire in primaries have allowed this joke of a human being to get strong armed into this position.

This is a poster child for our sad state of politics.

If what you are saying is true, it should come out in the confirmation hearings.

It's all very public already. All of the threats related to funding and getting rid of people by funneling dark money behind other Republicans in primaries are already out there. Mostly against the Republican lady from IA. 

[mspart]

Then why does he think he has a chance if all of this is well known and out there?   Again, I think the confirmation hearings will bring all this out if true.

She appears to be backing down from what I heard.

Because we elected a clown who is a convicted felon, so if that can happen, being a drunken idiot who has said and done *I poop my pants, don't laugh at me*ty things for years shouldn't be a big deal.

I can think of several good reasons why.

Kamala was not a better choice.   That much is apparent.

Diaper Donny has appointed the most incompetent cabinet in U.S. history. 

[mspart]

As the media likes to say, you say this without any evidence.   Have they served as cabinet members?  No.   So you can assume all you want and prognosticate all you want.   The proof will be in the pudding when they either succeed or don't.

I have a question about drinking.   I don't drink so I don't know that whole deal.   How many DOD secretaries have imbibed alcohol?  It was well known Teddy Kennedy was drunk most of the time but he was the revered Lion of the Senate. 

What level of drinking is ok and what level is not ok?   Why is this all of the sudden an issue for Hegseth and not for anyone else that held this position?  What kind of candidate would be ideal for this position?   What experience would be needed to do this job?   

What I'm getting is that because he drinks and has tats and hasn't administered anything, he must not be a good candidate.   He has a lot of years in the military and knows what the grunt and the veterans need and don't need.  He might be just the right kind of person to bring in a better perspective into the military readiness equation.   So an answer to the above questions might be a good starting point for understanding what is needed for this job.

Wait are you talking about first term or this one?   I'm sure you would've said that first time around correct?  So maybe this is only the 2nd most incompetent?
