Color me skeptical that the Marine in question who owned the flag had no idea about its origins. And while one should roll their eyes about the hoopla surrounding peeing on dead insurgents, Nazi idolatry has no place in our military.

These guys are bad asses that kill the enemy and instill terror. Let them work.

Yes, they are badasses, and we should let them work. Nazi insignia, however, have no place in anyone’s military.

"The image has since surfaced on an Internet blog, sparking widespread outrage and calls for a full investigation and punishment, including bringing those in the photograph and anyone who condoned it to court martial."
Liberals, always out to ruin peoples lives. Chew them out and move on.

Has anyone a picture of what this supposed SS symbol looked like? That might add some context - maybe it is a stretch to interpret as Nazi-like.
To: KantianBurke
The Corps said in a statement that using the symbol was not acceptable, but the Marines in the photograph taken in September 2010 will not be disciplined because investigators determined it was a naive mistake. A result, no doubt, from receiving a public school education.

I agree with you about Nazi idolatry. But considering how many high school grads can’t even find the Pacific Ocean on a map, I find it believable that they were really that clueless.
To: KantianBurke
The keyword in the media slur against the Marines is “resembling”. Note that the current regime and their worthless adherents does not resemble the Nazis.

I saw a picture of this on CNN this morning. It’s a real stretch to compare it to a Nazi flag.

It doesn’t just “resemble” the SS symbol, it is the SS symbol! I wonder who came up with that bright idea…

Not true. See post 11.

Those are just the last two letters in the rock group “KISS”
Want to see a Nazi symbol on Fashion Wear look at Columbia Sports wear logo, a double swastika. Big deal.
It is getting to where a fellow can’t go out in a white hood anymore without somebody taking offense.
Chill out political correctness goobers.

Sadly no. The Corps had an investigation and initiated corrective action.

How are a bunch of young guys supposed to know that flag had anything to do with Nazis? People need to get their panties out of a wad about symbols - they mean different things to different people. Grow a spine America.
