FALLOUT FROM THE U.S. MARINES SS FLAG
THINK reaction to this story is overblown? The Marines in these pictures are not only a disgrace to the U.S., they have again tarnished our reputation around the world. Multiple visitors from 15 different countries have visited my little blog to see the pictures and read the stories abut the ignorance that is the USMC. You can read my post from 9FEB12 here, Marines Sport Nazi SS Flag in Afghanistan & MRFF Demands that Marine Corps Leadership Immediately Investigate Usage of Nazi SS Flag by Marines in Afghanistan from MOTHER JONES & MRFF 9FEB12 . The countries I mention above are South Africa, Germany, Russia, Slovakia, Belgium, The Netherlands, Estonia, Poland, Brazil, Spain, Taiwan, France, The Czech Republic, Sweden and the U.K. To the people of the world, especially to those who suffered the murderous brutality of the SS or extreme right wing fanatics inspired by them I am sorry and you need to know Americans are ashamed of these Marines and of the refusal by the military leadership of the Marines to investigate and punish these people.

These visitors see only your own ignorance, gullibility, hatred, and fanaticism. What is next on your blog - an expose of how Navajo, Hopi, and other Pueblo people were all NAZIs back in the 1880s and 1890s as proved by their use of swastikas? Or perhaps that all Scots are racists because their St. Andrew's Cross flag is just a thinly disguised Confederate battle flag? There are MILLIONS of Americans - who are NOT neo-Nazis or racists - who are PROUD of these Marines, and if anything ashamed of the public schools who didn't teach them about the PAST significance of symbols like these.
ReplyDeleteThe swastika has been a rune for thousands of years, used by Hindus, Buddhist, Native Americans and probably others. It never represented the hatred and brutality of fascism or nazi ideology until hitler perverted the design and meaning, everyone who wants to knows that. St Andrew's Cross a thinly disguised confederate battle flag? Blue background, white X across the body of the flag? You see a confederate battle flag in that? You need to do a little more research on confederate flags. To use ignorance as an excuse for the marines who adopted the ss symbol as there own is not believable. To accept Gen John Amos' decision not to punish these marines is unacceptable. This incident, along with the marines urinating on dead taliban terrorist shows a lack of morality and proper training in the corps, your statement of pride in these marines says all that needs to be said about you.
