—an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and the deaths of more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting in World War II—
Tara and Michelle must have shared an energy drink.

Well, since -- without exception -- all symbols can be "divisive", it's clear that it's now "no holds barred" in the ol' US Coast Guard ... the leadership of which clearly doesn't understand there are levels of "divisiveness" -- and of the accompanying reaction -- of the myriad symbols (although lumping naziism and KKK-ism (divisive to a couple billion people) with, say, flying the American flag (divisive to a minority of ungrateful Americans) is potentially dangerous.

“... an emblem of fascism and white supremacy...”

In the first ten minutes of “The Da Vinci Code” (2006) one can learn that swastika style crosses have been around for several hundred years, used by many civilizations and were not symbols of hate and oppression.

Why do leftists seem to think that history began when they were born?

I was “potentially divisive” my entire military career.

The Hakenkreuz was taken from the millenia old Swastik of India (dating back to at least 2000 BC).

And the Nazis were not white supremacists, but Norduc supremacists. They slaughtered blond blue eyed Poles

They viewed Slavic people of any nationality as "untermenschen". Oddly enough, Hitler's racial ideology didn't see Italians as much better ... might give some perspective on Italian soldiers' lack of interest in fighting for fascism or national socialism.

“”””” an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and the deaths of more than 400,000 U.S. troops who died fighting in World War II “””””

A lot of those died fighting yellow supremacy fighting under the symbol of the rising sun.

Why do the Italians escape the stench of Fascism and WWII, I think most Americans probably think they were on our side rather than run by Mussolini and on Hitler’s side.

Yet he viewed his Japanese alliance positively and admired the martial ardor of Japanese soldiers.

Even his racial prejudices were inconsistent!

Hundreds? The oldest known swastika is a 10,000 year old bone carving from Ukraine.

They weren't particularly enthusiastic about it, they weren't running concentration camps, many of them did their best to shield Jews or help them escape Europe ...

And when given the opportunity to say "fcck this" ... they dragged Mussolini through the streets, killed him, and hanged his corpse by the ankles from the canopy of an Esso station.

There was no such scene in Germany, or USSR, or China, or Cambodia ...

Romanians deserve credit for making their version of it.

Italian fascism deserves opprobrium as do all totalitarian ideologies, but Italians of the fascist era do not belong in the same category as hitlerist germans or stalinist russians or maoist chinese.
