[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 939547, member: 17969"] A couple of years ago, a sniper squad posed in afghanistan together with both the FLAG of the USA and a FLAG that bore symbols that many say look like the NAZI SS symbols. Recently, the picture were viral on the web and an investigation started. I will say that to me, I find this type of messaging disturbing, and someone should have known better than to do something like this. The marines involved were not courtmartialed, but did suffer minor discipline in accordance with an investigation.

Reminds me of this building in San Diego for the navy seals. [IMG]http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRBpmceFwcanPAj9584tUxrtfQMNqr5Wr4y4mYdCbVdFcQ6WQEDpQ[/IMG] Dont they give our soldiers any education when it comes to negative symbolism? Sure, these marines have an excuse, but ignorance isnt a valid excuse. I accept that they were disciplined accordingly, and hope this sends out a message to anyone else in our uniform who wants to "represent". Peace. TOS [/QUOTE]
