12. Ever been in a tattoo parlor?

Sat Jun 6, 2026, 11:42 AM

Skull and bones are a common patten on display in the samples on the wall and in the book. Imagine yourself as a half drunk active duty Marine who goes in with his buddy and they both get a skull and bones tattoo. Do they know it's a Nazi thing? Maybe. Maybe not. It's a symbol of death.

Later, you get another tattoo to cover it up and hide it. Platner did that, too.

Why are you so eager to believe that Platner is on the wrong side of this? I don't get it.
