    “We got very inebriated, and we did what Marines on liberty do, and we decided to go get a tattoo. We went to a tattoo parlor in Split, Croatia. We chose a terrifying-looking skull and crossbones off the wall … a pretty standard military thing,”

    and you did not, at any point in this “skull and crossbones” endeavor, have your “are we the baddies” moment?

      In fairness, that is asking a marine to have thought something through.
