There is a new call for another investigation on this photo. The Marines already found that it was an innocent mistake. What basis is there for another investigation? None, just someone who thinks, without any evidence, that the Marines are trying to cover it up. People make mistakes and these men were probably born 50 years after WWII.

A leading Jewish organization and others outraged by a photo showing Marine snipers in Afghanistan posing with a logo resembling a notorious Nazi symbol are demanding President Barack Obama order an investigation and hold the troops accountable.
The Marine Corps has said it does not plan any discipline because there was no malicious intent. The Marines mistakenly believed the "SS" in the shape of white lightning bolts on the blue flag were a nod to sniper scouts - not the members of Adolph Hitler's special unit that murdered millions of Jews, gypsies and others, said Maj. Gabrielle Chapin, a spokeswoman at Camp Pendleton, Calif.
...
Rabbi Marvin Hier, founder of Los Angeles' Simon Wiesenthal Center, said he does not believe it was an innocent mistake and insisted the American public has a right to know what happened.

yes it's offensive but only because it's so ill thought out and stupid, no harm was went nor was it meant to be any symbol of the ss, the commander in charge should be charged for stupidity and no more!!
 
yes it was a stupid mistake it's not like the marines of whatever you want to call the ie company wise are murdering nazi's out to kill all jews, wake up yo your self! a court martial would be too much this sort of stupidity deserves. send the commander back to basic traing and teach him how to use his brain. this sort of basic dumbness gets good soldiers killed.
 
Not even worthy enough to comment on............. A symbol, that meant something to them that others want to mean something entirely different. Grow up, it is not a forbidden symbol forever and ever just because the asshole Nazis used it.

Then their ignorance is as much of a crime.

And it’s extremely difficult to believe that not one of those individuals hadn’t at some point in his life seen the Runic script in a movie, TV show, or book.

Inasmuch as one might loath what they stood for, the SS were (according to dad & uncles) one h*ll of a formidable foe

It is not an SS symbol. But then that would require brains to know that.

Is it a secret gay Marine symbol?

The SS died in 1945. Further they did not use blue and white for their flags. And the emblem is not quite the symbol they used. Unless we are suddenly Germany or some other Countries in Europe, it is NOT against the law or the UCMJ to display THAT blue and white banner.

Oh, my bad. I thought you knew what the symbol was, but your just bullshitting.
