I am 57 and consider myself well educated. I know what a swastika looks like, but had to look up the symbol for the SS (Schutzstaffel -had to look the name up as well).

Men that age might associate those 2 letters with Kiss (as mentioned above) than anything else. Not a smart move by any stretch of the imagination. I would tend to take them at their word (SS = Sniper Scouts). I do not think it was meant to glorify the ideals of Nazi Germany. IOW, a crime of stupidity. I strongly agree the symbol has no place in our military.
