Good chuckle for the morning.

a lot of .mil guys end up fighting MMA or UFC.

It doesn't affect me but I think it is BS that the .mil wants to limit what these guys can wear...although they did sign up for the .mil so it is what it is.

[JM Ver. 2.0]

That was written perfectly..

[Monky]

THAT IS AWESOME!

Not so much that it's the .mil doing it, but the fact that someone came out publicly and said these people who are fat should not be wearing the shit, that they can't jump rope for 5 mins.. let alone climb into a cage...

I'm not sure who the hell the guy is but his reasoning rocks.

I'm not sure if it's at all true after finishing the article..but it made me giggle. 1% local mma fighters, 15% local douchebags, 84% military.. lol

I understand that most of the Tap-Out wearers are douchebags, but I wear NASCAR caps regularly and I sure as hell won't get into a race car anytime soon. Maybe they are just fans?

I'm offended you'd put us douchebags in the same category as the tap-out wearing douchebags. I don't own one single fight shirt.. and I do get in the cage for fun!

[rshives]

I hope you are joking with me because I didn't mean to offend.

[Lex_Luthor]

Haha, nice article.

[airborneranger]

LOL. I don't have any tap out shirts.

[mx'r]

That's it... I'm throwing away all of my Harley shirts. I sold the bike last year, so in the trash bin they go!

This pretty much sums up my opinion of Tapout shirt wearers... "oh you think you're a badass because you're wearing a tapout shirt? Watch my pop you in the throat and see how tough you are then... they always drop like a bucket of rocks when you punch them in the throat!" < A friend of mine said this one day when we were walking into Colorado Mills, he's an amateur MMA fighter.

Whoever that Dr. Miller guy is, if this article is real, is my hero!

I saw a guy with "Tap Out" tattooed on his next this weekend. I think he was AF. He must have been a bad ass with that on his neck!

I agree with the idea as 99% of people who wear TapOut clothing are posers; the other 1% didn't have anything else to wear that day. However, it they are worried about profiling military personnel near bases, then perhaps they shouldn't start with t-shirts sold at the local Walmart and look at bigger identifiers like haircuts, pt uniforms, molle backpacks (including 5.11 crap), vehicle registration stickers, and groups travelling in squad sized elements when off post. If I was trying to blend in with the local douchbag fraternity, then I would wear a CrapOut shirt or something from Jersey Shore. However, most military men will always stand out due to their composure, habits and personality; not necessarily the clothing they wear. Clean cut, in shape (mostly), young men that hang out together (especially at bars) will always get picked up on someone's radar, whether the unit 1SG checking on his men, local Rangerettes looking for their next baby's daddy, or someone trying to gain info about the post. There is no way to keep service men out of a local community. It would destroy the local economy.

What?!?! This is total bulls**t!!! What am I going to wear now?

lol, just joking. The comments from some of you guys are cracking me up.

[Scanker19]

Check out the rest of that website. It's not a real article. Like a military onion. I saw a funny one where a guy wasn't graduating WLC after "knife handing" someone to death.

Glad I wasn't the only one that realized it was fake. I worry about some of you guys.

I posted the story about how beards save lives a while back. Just got finished reading one about how some AF CC got tired of people calling it the Chair Force so he got rid of all the chairs in his unit. Funny stuff.

Did some of you think it was a real article? Come on guys!

I think it was you that I saw sporting the "tap out" tat!

Yeah, it's right next to my "Thug Life" tattoo.

ETA: Hey, your smiley works! That's the first smiley I've seen since Black Whatever Day the Site Went Down.
