Another slap to the face of the USA by our Marines. Sheesh.

[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 939806, member: 17969"] Symbolism folks, simple symbolism. I dont believe our marines in that photo believe themselves to be NAZIS, but as BBSAM said, no matter their age or religious backgrounds, the SS lightning bolts is something that carries a negative message regardless if the indians or the egyptians used them. Shame on the commander of these men for allowing them to fly the flag in the first place. You would think a battle tested veteran in command would know to disallow this type of symbolism regardless of how remote the A.O. is. The taliban and the mountainist people of Afghanistan may not know the image, but when you memorialize the image and place it on the WORLD WIDE WEB, there's gonna be blowback. I am comfortable that the military took action and hope that bringing this subject to the public ends any future actions of a similiar nature. Peace. TOS [/QUOTE]
