Peace on Earth…but not in the U.S. military

As an owner & operator of a small medspa, I see my share of wild, weird and wonderful situations. This week, a lovely young lady and her BFF came into Artisan for tattoo removal. The girls each had multiple tattoos and both were planning to enlist in the U.S. Armed Forces. The problem was one tiny tattoo that would be visible outside of a regulation uniform/hairstyle. My client had a peace symbol half the size of a dime tucked permanently behind her ear. Besides being visible while in uniform, ( a new rule ) the young lady was told that the peace symbol is considered anti-military and offensive.
Having chosen her future, she went ahead with the 1st removal treatment.
I must admit this encounter left me perplexed. Doesn’t our nation’s military keep peace? Desire peace?
I support our men and women in uniform and appreciate their desire to serve.
