WASHINGTON — The Marine Corps' top general said he plans to eliminate the service's tattoo policy in the near future, after an alcohol and testosterone fueled weekend in Las Vegas, sources confirmed.

"There's really nothing wrong with getting a little ink to show some Marine Corps pride," Neller reportedly said, while shooting craps at the Tropicana. "Hell, even Smedley Butler had a full chest tattoo of the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor."

Gen. Robert Neller and Sgt. Maj. of the Marine Corps Ronald Green allegedly spent Friday evening prowling Las Vegas strip clubs and tattoo parlors and raiding Middle-Eastern-themed establishments, according to sources.

Witnesses observed Neller and Green playing Keno at the Golden Nugget and downing Long Island Iced Teas poolside at club Rehab throughout the day. They were eventually spotted stumbling into Bubba's Tattoo and Piercing at around 3 a.m.

Pentagon casualties, metric improvement, and Fat Leonard’s least dignified phase.

A State Department map that relocated most of Africa, one ambitious government travel card, and 5,200 medical students moved from dorms that definitely do not have mold.
