What bothers me, is they should KNOW. In fact if you were raised in the
UK,Australia,Europe or the US. How could you not know. Hell what the SS did in
Europe during WWII. Hell with it. YOU SHOULD KNOW.

Of course Paneta is going to make a big deal about it, he's a politician,
election year and all that. It is important though and I think it should be
dealt with. I don't think there's any excuse for the morons to not know about
the significance of symbols like that. I don't think they deserve more than a
stern reprimand and notation in their service records though and USMC apparently
needs to do a better job of educating the jarheads.

Bailiff, slap their pee-pees.
I agree, who the fuck does NOT know and recognize that? I think out of the group
of them someone DID know and probably said something about it. I know I would
have. We shall see what happens huh? USMC can be pretty hard-assed about things
and they could conceivably get dishonorable discharges for conduct unbecoming to
a Marine. Just saying, but with Paneta pushing for an investigation it wouldn't
surprise me at all. I wonder what SecNav has to say about it.

Yeah but Schutzstaffel literally translates to;
Protection Squadron.
