Didn’t some dim display use Russian ships or aircraft?

I can see how someone not too keen on military uniforms could make this stupid mistake.

When that new helmet style came out a couple decades ago I thought it mimicked the Nazi one of WWII. Then the camo style of one of the German soldiers vaguely resembles our modern camo.

So you take some low information person searching the web and to them just about anything will do.

I hope this jerk gets canned big time.

What could be more GAY homosexual than "tweeting" on "Twitter"?

That's the picture?!

I had to look close to tell, and the ONLY way I could tell they are German soldiers is the rifles they were carrying.

You know that the picture with the Confederate flag in the background was photoshopped, right?

[Pollster1]

I did not know that; I won’t use it again. It doesn’t change the meaning of a Confederate Battle Flag on their campaign buttons, but it’s better to be accurate.

Anyone can make a campaign button (and most are not actually made by the campaign itself), but if she wanted to be consistent about it, the least she could have done would be to distance herself from the buttons.

Twitter users pointed out the soldiers in the bottom-right of the photo are not American. They were German World War II soldiers wearing Nazi uniforms.

According to this article they were neither American nor actual WWII German soldiers (who may or may not have been Nazis anyway):

Mother Jones can now reveal that the image in question was taken at a World War II reenactment near Kent, England, some time within the last five years, according to its photographer, George Cairns.
