Air Force Squadron in South Korea Replaces Pit Bull “Mongrels” Patch Because It Resembles Symbol Used by Obscure White Supremacist Group

The Air Force Mongrels dropped their Pit Bull patch recently after they realized it too closely resembled a symbol associated with a white supremacist group in Pennsylvania with a couple of dozen members.

The morale patch of the 51st Civil Engineer Squadron resembles the pit bull patch of the Keystone State Skinheads.

Military.com reported:

The civil engineer squadron at Osan has replaced its pit bull morale patch because it too closely resembled a symbol associated with a white supremacist group, according to a wing statement Tuesday

Col. John Gonzales, commander of the 51st Fighter Wing, ordered the change after an internal review “on all Unit Emblems, Mottos, Nicknames and Other Symbols” back in October and December, wing spokesman Master Sgt. Joshua Garcia said in an email Tuesday to Stars and Stripes.

The morale patch of the 51st Civil Engineer Squadron “Mongrels” depicted a pit bull with a striking resemblance to what the Anti-Defamation League has labeled as a racist symbol.

How pathetic! It's a sad day when the Anti-Defemation League has influence on what is racist and what is not.

The wing will likely be cut anyway. Massive defense cuts are coming in the coming months as the Dems seek to look “Fiscally responsible” and also “take it out on the right wingers in the military”.

Your link did not show what the opposing patch looked like.

Either way, Mack Truck used the bull dog for most of a century.

It would be a real knee slapper if the club changed their patch to match the new patch.

“Mack Truck used the bull dog for most of a century.”

Thus the standard gearjammer jibe at Mack truckers,”What? You haven’t got tired of staring at that bulldog’s ass yet?”

Next for the Woketopian morons who run the USA, “We have decided to cease the use of the US flag, as it too closely resembles the one that flew over a racist slave owning nation.”

Maybe we could get some White supremacist groups to incorporate rainbow flags or circled A’s or BLM in their logos and patches.

Airborne has a lightning bolt on it’s patches, and the SS had 2 of them.

The horror!!!

I think I’m with the American GI in WWII named Hitler, who, when asked why he didn’t change his name said “Let the other guy change his!”

The Air Force squadron will never know true peace until they introduce a morale patch depicting two homos "getting it on."

If the 51st is cut it would mean we’re pulling out of South Korea, it’s the closest fighter wing to the DMZ.

The fighter wing itself is known as the Mustangs, so they have AOC face painted on all their jets.

And almost nobody would have known because nobody heard of that obscure alleged white suprematism group.

My A-6 squadron in the Navy was VA-35 “Black Panthers.” I imagine that would be racist now.
