They thought "Irish Pride" was possibly racist? I guess your EO had never been to Boston...

Maybe it was something from the infantry because we had problems with racist skinheads, but from meps through every stage of my military career we had tattoo checks. I almost got put out because I have an irish pride tattoo on my stomach. -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Sorge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 8:37 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: while I am here I deployed with the Texas National Guard, specifically a unit from El Paso. The unit was 80% Hispanic. There were absolutely no searches for gang tats even though some of the guys had them. The 12 years I was in active duty I had never heard of this. I emailed my brother-in-law yesterday who is an active duty Captain(p) and he informed me that he has never heard of that either. Like I said, I feel that this was a case of prejudice. Now I am not purposely trying to contradict Loathe. It could very well be that the units he was in did that. I am just speaking from my personal experiences.

However, he says this was the only unit. Only National Guard unit? I have no way to reconcile your statement with his. Bruce?
