Worthless for the immense canvas, but I’m rattling crazy the new Zune, and comedian this, as advantageously as the fantabulous reviews few added fill make inscribed, gift aid you if it’s the honorable deciding for you.

Gray.
The point of the butterfly is that others may be led to expect a particular behavior, or a propensity on the end of the normal distribution, anyway.
What is the cumulative effect of being expected to….whatever? Over and over.

“Women’s behavior”….lol…something I haven’t a clue about understanding.

Seems to me, especially about the soldiers with their fearsome tatts, that a tatt is a kind of permanent brag which may function to modify one’s behavior, if not actual personality.

I don’t know…. That may be true for “aspirational tattoos”, but just the opposite for “commemorative tattoos”.

Note in my post I didn’t say their tattoos were “fearsome”. In many cases the tattoos are just the opposite; like my pal with “Free Hugs” tattooed like military spray lettering across his chest. They’ve already proven themselves….

It’s not a brag if you did it. Sometimes we do things so remarkable (even if just in our own eyes) that we mark it into our flesh. I have a couple of those tattoos. Love ’em. They make me feel good everytime I see ’em.

A butterfly on the butt? The owner of the butt is pretty free with it, one way or another, and having others expect it over and over …..

That is not true. All suppositions based cause and effect of women’s behavior are suspect.

I recall, many years ago, somebody wrote a piece on the bragging culture among Anglo-Saxon warriors.
I suspect some of it was assumed.
Anyway, the point of it was that, having bragged yourself into somebody badder than Beowulf around many a hall fire, when the shield wall wheeled into line (points for reference) and the bowels started asking for attention, the cumulative bragging was a way of holding the guy to his task.
He’d actually convinced himself he was not only brave, but really, really brave, and so competent at war that he need not fear, anyway, and, besides, his buddies were all watching (probably not, had their own sweat to worry about).

“…I know some Infantry Captains and Majors who are tattooed-up like fearsome warriors of old; and they are fearsome warriors”.

I don’t doubt that for a moment. Most Army soldiers I see these days, Active, Reserve, and Guard, have combat patches, and quite a few have stars on their CIBs. We live in interesting times and have the best military the world has ever seen. If they want tattoos, for whatever reason, have at it.

When I was a lieutenant in Korea over 30 years ago

I was a junior Lieutenant in Korea 17 years ago!

I didn’t have any tattoos as an officer. It ‘wasn’t done’ then either. I didn’t get any tattoos until I was out (the first time). Now I’ve got a bunch. I went back into the Guard under a different MOS as an enlisted guy. It’s very fun.

Having been around the military for much of my adult life, I got quite used to seeing a variety of tattoos–on enlisted men. Officers, unless they had prior enlisted service, rarely had them. When I was a lieutenant in Korea over 30 years ago, my fellow junior officers and I did a lot of strange things, generally involving alcohol in one way or another, but no matter how drunk we were, we were never tempted to stop in at one of the local (and technically off-limits, because of the hepatitis threat) tattoo parlors. It never even came up in discussion. Officers just “didn’t do that”, at least in the Army.

Now, that’s changed. In my last few years prior to retirement from the Reserves, I ran across a number of officers with tattoos, as well as a fair number of female military members, officer and enlisted, who were “inked”. As tastes change, these eventually get reflected in the military. And I never noticed any difference in competence between the tattooed and non-tattooed troops. So it’s not my thing, but if it makes you happy, go for it.
