Here's a place in Malaysia. These are not neo-nazi's and the symbol has completely different meaning. I should say that when I was talking about cultural context, I was not defending these Marines. I was attacking them. Swastikas and SS symbols are not okay in our culture. And no they are not ancient or historic, it currently has meaning. |
It is not a common sight to find the logo used in asia, bar Korea and maybe certain parts of China and India. Otherwise, its never really seen though.
Just my 20 cents.
