I have a friend who is a former Marine scout sniper. He has the SS tattooed on him... he's Jewish. He's one of the ones who wouldve burned his fellow Hebrews in an oven!!! OMG The traitor to his race!!!! Yeah I don't see the big deal either. These are warriors, they're not the Nazis, warriors like looking intimidating and it does. |

Way to take things out of context. So I guess SEALs and other SOF who wear pirate flag patches like the Calico Jack flag will soon be scrutinized for rape, pillage, plunder, and marauding the masses.
My advice: Carry on Marine Corps SS Teams; you're doing a fucking outstanding job. |

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. That pretty much says it for me too! |

Way to misrepresent what they actually posed with. Funny, I don't even care what they posed with. They're fighting for MY right to take a photo with whatever I want... They can pose with whatever the fuck they want. Damn straight! |

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. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile At first I was all And then I went |

Meh. However, for posterity, fuck Nazis, Neo-Nazis and white supremacists. That is all. |

Our Plt Sgt recommended the best place for the SS symbol was in the nostrils of a skull with the obligatory bullet through the forehead.
Then again, he also idolized the Wehrmacht and Waffen SS (who by the way, was comprised primarily of non-Aryan, non-Germans) and all of our packs ended up being spray painted variations of the dot 44 pattern. Here's the thing, specialized units will see bonds between themselves, and units and individuals that preformed the same job, and performed it well, reguardless of nationality, or being the "good" or "Bad" guys. Individual German snipers racked up hundreds of kills in WW2. Some individually got from 180-300 kills. (Of course, no ones closed in on Simo AFAIK, and the Russian snipers had obscene amounts of kills, but who wants to idolize them) so of course there is going to be a little envy and respect when it comes to German snipers, and one of the ways it's expressed is... SS runes on stuff. |
|
not uncommon, my buddy has an SS tattoo, along with the rest of his scout platoon. even the black guy had one. my buddy is mexican
the way it was explained is that some units use that logo for scout sniper and the core values were similar |
|
BFD, when my career field was Security Specialist (Yup, SS) we put the runes on everything.
To reiterate, Who The Fuck Cares. Semper Fi to all my Marine buddies. |
|
Still not cool with US Marines adopting the iconography of Nazi scum responsible for the Malmédy Massacre and countless other atrocities. Shows a lack of class and understanding of history.
|
|
History long decided the runic SS belonged to the Schutzstaffel. You don't get to change history - adopt their insignia and you adopt all the baggage too.

Now that Duffy has relinquished his "King Bonehead" crown, I see we have an heir to the throne! I'm sure the word you were looking for was "symbolism." What is the ssss-himbolism there?

Establishing lesser qualification standards for females or patting down 90 year old grandmothers by the TSA is PC - ie hypocritical, feel good window dressing to address some political stance instead of allowing reality to dictate reasonable actions. Adopting the insignia of hard core Nazis responsible for genocide and battlefield atrocities against American troops? That's not a PC issue, that's just plain stupid. Using the initials SS is no big deal, hell the Secret Service has been doing this for years. Using the runic SS along with the recent desecration incident bring strong questions as to the level of leadership and discipline in the Scout/Sniper community and stains the reputation of the USMC as a whole. You can dispute it all you want, but that will be the end result. |

I don't have any problem with this. |

Meh. I had a few friends that had SS branded on them. They were in STA 1/5. So what....
