What if they muzzle swept someone with a unloaded gun for a photo? How would you feel then? huh?


If they did it for a vendor photo op then not halal. Your butt hurt about that thread is strong. The runes? meh. It's not like it was naked ladies painted on aircraft or anything.

Quoted:
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?

minor note:  the oriental swastika was set flat, like a square.  the nazi version is set on point, like a diamond.

 


And faces the opposite direction.

Sowilo Norse Rune?


Meaning

Wholeness, light, energy. Victory. Discovery, disclosure.


Characteristics

The spirit of life, the energy of the sun. Completeness. Spiritual awareness. Boundless energy, strength of character. The capacity to learn, the gift of understanding. Good health and fitness.



Although Sowilo is well known as a victory symbol, it can also be used as a force of attack. It is a positive force, because it is the natural power of the sun. Spiritually, Sowilo symbolizes clear vision, and the victories of light over darkness, good over evil. It admonishes one to use the powers of good to vanquish evil.

I'm shocked and appalled by this. Appalled. The USMC is renowned for their sensitivity, political correctness and commitment to not hurt other's feelings. Seeing these two sully that when they're supposed to instead be reaching the brainstems hearts of those who need our understanding most just dismayed me.
We look to the USMC to reach out to those who don't yet understanding us, to be America's cradling arms offering friendship and love. These two obviously don't carry that message in their harts. I'm sad for them and for those they've emotionally wounded.

Very well written.  This is yet another example of proof that more sensitivity training is needed as part of annual training requirements for our Marines.  Obviously, there was a failure in the Marine's chain of command to take sensitivity training seriously.



It's kind of like how the Soviet forces, before the beginning of WWII, placed undue emphasis on education about Marxist-Leninist theory and loyalty to the state.  The more you focus on political correctness, the more you interfere with education and training about the practical aspects of battle, and the less effective your forces are.
