Geez, stuff like this never ceases to amaze me. Where were you in 8th grade history?
The first pic with the soldiers is a Confederate battle flag version of the 2nd Confederate Navy Jack. These are battle flags.
The second flag is the 'Confederate Flag', which is just a rectangular version of the battle flag.
The First, Second and Third Confederate National flags don't look anything like this (well, they have the incorrectly-named 'stars-and-bars' in the corner).
The third pic is the same flag as the first.
Now tell me that if I draw a swastika, I am a racist. It is used by Buddhism, Hinduism and Chinese as a positive sign. The Anasazi (ancient Hopi) of Northern Arizona (way, way, way, like 1100AD) before the Nazi's, considered this a good luck sign. The direction it was drawn represented two different things; one way was the earth, the other, the sun.
What’s up with these Marines lately. First pissing on dead bodies now this? Is the constant duty rotations leaving no time for common since? If these guys were in my unit I would have slapped the **** out of them.
I don't doubt it, but it shows poor judgement on their part. They should have known better. If anyone would know what an SS symbol looks like, it would be military men.
How can a flag be racist? Only people can be racist. It is about the intent, not the shape of the symbol.
A swastika (or a rune which is what those 'S's are) from any cultural background be it Indian, Native American or even pre-Christian Europe is just a swastika.
It's the bigoted moron who appropriated the symbol that is the problem, not some squiggles on a cloth.
You can call me racist or whatever you like.But when ya'll start jumping to conclusions and bad mouthing our men who are dying for you it is downright pathetic.And this thread started by someone calling himself Shabazz.Shabazz as in kill white babies Malik Shabazz of the new black panthers.You fools

Not necessarily. Many of today's high school graduates have no idea who were our friends and enemies in world war 2 nor when was world war 2. While in the Navy in the 1990s, I served with some young sailors who did not know that Ukraine was once a part of the USSR.

LOL, and I suppose you would believe someone that told you the swastika stood for world peace. Only an idiot would copy not only a Nazi symbol, but the one that stood for the most evil, hardcore Nazis and act like it was no big deal.
