The cluelessness of many on this thread is making me sick. That you would side with the PC police on this. The Marines’ flag was clearly for their Scout Sniper unit and not meant as one of those ink-blot tests.

To buy into this fabricated story and turn on Marines is appalling. There is never a word from the media about the Che t-shirts so many “youth” wear or the 100 million that Communists murdered, largely Christians, in 20th century alone. It is the Communists who continue to rape and pillage to this day. It is the Communists who control the media, the entertainment industry, the gubt skools, everything in D.C.

Agreed. My neighbor a nice kid, showed up with a Mao cap from one of dad’s travels recently. I chewed him out thoroughly for wearing symbols of government mass killings in my home. He didnt know and didnt think. And we are quiet in our acquiesence of such things.

I'm going to take a middle position here.

The SS runes are obviously Nazi SS runes, and they were selected by the Scout Snipers precisely because they are shocking and intimidating. Pretending otherwise makes us look stupid.

On the other hand, I'm not particularly bothered by them. These Marines are not out there fighting in a desert s***hole for enlightenment and cultural edification. They are there to kick enemy ass so that we have a free country and a safer world to live in. I don't expect them to be shiny happy paragons of sensitivity, empathy and tactfulness. I expect them to be badasses who kick s***. And I'm willing to cut them a heck of a lot more slack than I'll cut for just about anybody else. The silly, limp milksops and pantywaists who are shouting for these Marine's heads on plates offend me more than any Nazi symbol.
