"...the "SS runes" of Hitler’s infamous black-uniformed elite corps."

U.S.M.C. Scout Snipers in Afghanistan. They've been using the double 'S' runes for years.

And the SS stands for scout sniper.
Bad taste for sure.
When I was a barracks rat a guy a few doors down, who was a scout sniper, got that crap branded on his side...idiot.
