Their "dumb asses" are pretty hip to the idea that the SS runes were used by the Nazi Schutzstaffel who were responsible for the deaths of millions in Konzentrationslager in the 30s and the 40s. Nobody should be using it for anything other than historical representation of the evil that was Nazi Germany, period. Romanticizing the symbols of fascism is nigh on tolerating it. </div></div>
Okay there smart guy, where did the Nazis get the symbol of the Swasticas and the SS runes from and what dis they mean?
I'll await your reply with eagerness! LOL </div></div>
It's swasti<span style="color: #FF0000"><span style="font-weight: bold">k</span></span>a, and it was a part of the symbology of the Nazis, taken from India, where it was representative of several religions forming what might be called the faiths of Vedic Dharma. It also happens to have been a common symbol of Native Americans in and around New Mexico, until negative associations suppressed its use. But one, the swastika isn't what we're talking about here, and two, if an average bunch of sub-30s ground pounders had posed in 782s with weapons next to a red, black and white NSDAP swastika flag I'm pretty sure that the association in their minds wouldn't have been the relative coolness of Navajos and their culture.
The question here is their use of the SS runes. Here's their history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sig_(rune) Read up. </div></div>
Pardon my spelling, I have fat fingers and they don't work well operating an Iphone.
Point being with the swastika, its all about interpretation. Lots of groups of people used it and it meant different things to each.
SS. Runes meant something to the Nazis and it means something different to the Marine.Scout Snipers. If you can't understand that and still judge.these warriors because of it then you can stick your brain housing group right back into that moist, dark, stinky crevice you been storing it in and go ahead and stand-by until further notice.
Thanks for your input though. Carry on with the plan of the day!
