I disagree - I bet no-one here knew that was the Nazi SS flag until they read the article.
These marines belong to the Scout Sniper get it - SS - and I bet not a single one knew that flag resembled the old German SS flag, or do we suddenly expect Americans to know some history? :D
 
Lol, the lightning form of the S has been used for ages and ages, just because the Nazis used it doesn't mean that no one else can ever use it again ....... damn, people be bitching over the most trivial stuff.
 
Meh, I don't hold it against them, such an awesome symbol.

Liberalism is responsible for these wars. Noone else supports the spreading of democracy and liberalism.

This is a mis-representation.

Use a peace sign, that would accurately represent the hypocrissy of liberalism.
Snipers for peace.

Still not convinced there is an issue here but maybe I am wrong?? I guess using a Swastika would be an issue but his?

Well depends, if they where Buddhists then I would have no problem with a Swastika either.

People read to much crap into some symbols that's older than time itself. Hell even the Inka's used Swastika's, oh wait the Mayan calendar is now a indication of when Germany will become a world power?

Oh and the double Sig "Armanen" rune in the flag is the sign of the sun so maybe they pagans and worsip the sun?

Nothing to see... move along :)
