A comforting decision

This, via Raw Story, is a comfort to me. My two daughters won't be able to become marines and fight in the Iraq quagmire:

US Marines may be tough, but after April 1 they won't be able to show it with big tattoos.

Marine Corps Commandant James Conway has slapped a ban on new tattoos that are visible when a marine is dressed in shorts and a T-shirt.

Effective April 1, "Marines are prohibited from: tattoos or brands on the head and neck. Sleeve tattos are likewise prohibited," the new regulations stated.
