Marine Scout Snipers and the "Nazi" symbol - Page 2

Actually, i found a pic of the flag they used, yeah that was an Nazi SS flag font and it was a Nazi SS flag. It wasn't a resemblence, it was a flag that was probably purchased from a pro Nazi website. That isn't just a mistake, that was done on purpose to get that flag there by whoever provided that flag.

Looks like a nazi flag huh? It is probably taken directly from the nazis after ww2 and made a mascot. I have known plenty of scout snipers who use the SS letters, they are scout snipers thats it nothing more, nothing less. This whole thing is blown way out of proportion.

Incidently I have a certificate of appreciation with those exact SS letters in my look at me book, and that came from another group of marine scout snipers a few years back. I got a tshirt too.

Yeah and you can go buy that exact flag at your friendly skinhead and nazi web store.

Does that make you the stereotypical "self-hating Jew"?

no, it means that they have used it as an unofficial mascot for years simply because of the SS stands for scout sniper. People need to not get all butt hurt.

or ebay, or one of the dozen memoribilia stores outside every base, or naziSSflags.com or have your wife with a sewing machine make one, or have it hang in some guys office for the last 40 years or whatever.

it's not from a sewing machine or a 40 year old relic. It's a brand new screen printed flag. Look at the picture. It was purchased as a nazi ss flag. Sorry as the government, you are subject to the will of the people you represent. And I am willing to bet a lot of your religious folk don't want our military running around with nazi flags.

Hell they could have a chipmunk as their symbol and someone would cry foul.
