I think this is way overblown, and is being stretched in every manner possible. I could be completely wrong, and these Marines are pure evil skinheads who deserve to be locked up for a long time. They're not. I have a hard time believing that these brave and proud Marines collectively and wittingly choose a symbol associated with a defeated and evil regime to align with and pay tribute to. That’s a joke. This isn’t some anti-Semitic allegiance or statement. If they wanted that they would have went for the black and silver. I think these are young Marines who think the scout sniper “SS” in the shape of lightning bolts looks good. They are proud of their service, and I am proud of them.
Much in the same manner as someone said before, regarding the two letters “s” in the Kiss emblem. Gene Simmons is Jewish and his mother was a holocaust survivor, the letters had nothing to do with a Nazi tribute. Nor was it a "fail." They were made to look like lightning bolts as a form of art.
Why slam these Marines for this, and why is are we even paying attention to this and once again diverting our attention and resources? While we’re at it, why not slam every owner of the "people's car"; Jewish owners included. Wasn’t that also a nationalist symbol of an evil regime? I highly doubt anyone thinks about Hitler, Ferdinand Porsche, or the Third Reich weapons of destruction they created and the lives lost when they turn the keys of their Jetta or Cayenne these days. Is it anti-Semitic to drive a Porsche or a Beetle? Or has enough time passed for that one and it doesn't matter if a VW was indeed created by a horrific being and his Nazi "professor"? I guess we'll let that one slide.
