    If the complete tat is along the lines of: “it’s better to be tried by 12 than carried by 8”, it’s been familiar to law enforcement circles (which circles the drain with ex-military, so not surprising) for a long time. When I was in college in a criminal justice program, several instructors repeated this over and over (except I believe it was “… carried by 6”.

    I didn’t stay in that program, BTW.

      It is supposed to be carried by 6. But it’s also supposed to reference a war zone. Not policing where upholding the law is the mission.
