Photo shows Marines posing with Nazi-like symbol in Afghanistan CNN Security Clearance - CNN.com Blogs
Update: The Pentagon just put out this statement: "Racist and anti-Semitic symbols have absolutely no place alongside the men and women of America's armed forces. Secretary Panetta has asked the Marine Corps to look into this matter and to take appropriate action."
A picture of an elite Marine unit posing with a flag symbol that is similar to a Nazi "SS" logo has surfaced on the Internet.
Marine Corps Scout Snipers from the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion are seen standing and kneeling with their sniper rifles in front of a blue flag with white Nazi "SS" runes. The picture was taken in 2010 in Afghanistan and the photo's description says the "SS" flag had been "adopted and used by the Marines in reference to Scout Sniper."
