Didn't a unit in the Marine Corps have a logo similar to an Afrika Corps logo? And much butthurt from those not in combat, much less in the military ensue?

Honestly, my first reaction is that these are probably young 'uns who didn't know about it's use by the SS, and thought "that'd be cool, SS for Scout Sniper."

In 1992, our scout sniper team was told they they could not be known as the "head hunters," because Buddhists held the head to be a sacred thing and would be offended.
MOST scout snipr teams/platoons have been told for years that the SS logo is a no-go. |

Seriously who cares. The Swastika wasnt something the Nazi's made up. I seem to remember that in Japan the monks still use the Swastika on the entrances for their places of worship.
"The swastika (Sanskrit: स्वस्तिक) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles, in either right-facing (卐) form in counterclockwise motion or its mirrored left-facing (卍) form in clockwise motion. Earliest archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates back to the Indus Valley Civilization of Ancient India as well as Classical Antiquity. Swastikas have also been used in other various ancient civilizations around the world. It remains widely used in Indian religions, specifically in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, primarily as a tantric symbol to evoke 'shakti' or the sacred symbol of auspiciousness. The swastika is also a Chinese character used in East Asia representing eternity and Buddhism." He was posing with SS. OMFG!!!! Fucking knee jerk idiots. So if I go buy a Camaro SS that means I am trying to be a Nazi because my car has an SS on it? |

History is replete with Runic script of that style, the NAZIs didn't create it and neo-NAZIs don't have a copyright.
BTW-You can't swing a dead cat in India without hitting a Swastika and they aren't NAZIs either. |

The "SS" runes are not soul-based nazi propaganda and derived from them.
The United States Marine Corps Scout/Snipers (unofficially) adoped the SS runes as their sign for "Scout/Sniper (SS)". |

Like others have said, the SS (Scout Sniper...go figure) logo has been used for years. I dont see what the problem is. Wasnt there an army unit in WWI or WWII that had a swastica as a unit patch?

Our warfighters are trained to kill people and blow shit up.
If they want to take pictures pissing on dead terrorists, leave Ace of Spades calling cards nailed to dead enemies skulls, fly Marine Corps versions of Afrika Korps flags on their tanks, or whatever other kind of politically-incorrect shit they need to do to keep their morale up and get thru what they have to endure, then I say leave 'em the fuck alone. |
